Biology: A/A
English: A/A
Word History: A/A
Spanish 2: C/C
Int. Math 3: B/A</p>

<p>Junior Year:
Comp Sci AP: A/A

English AP: C/B
USHistory AP: B/B
PreCalc: C/C

<p>Weighted GPA is 3.538....</p>

<p>I have ~250 hours of community service.</p>

<p>I did cross country freshman and sophomore year. Same for badminton.</p>

<p>I'm currently working at Mervyns.</p>

<p>AP scores:
Comp Sci: 1 :x
English Language: 4</p>

<p>SAT scores: 1790</p>

<p>SAT scores: Haven't taken them yet.</p>

<p>What are my chances? :x</p>

<p>oh yeah, im planning to major in art... just including that in case if it might affect admissions</p>

3

<p>i also forgot to include that i'm co-founder of a local community service organization and i'm also the webmaster.</p>

<p>jeez, your scores are almost similar to mine (you beat me in GPA, i beat you in EC, SAT (slightly) and AP) and ill probably be applying to the same school. Man this is going to be stiff competition</p>

5

<p>They're all slight reaches, get your SAT score up and you'll have a good shot.</p>

6

<p>UCSD is deff a reach to large reach. SATs for UCSD admits are almost 1950 and GPA averages are 4.06. Its not gonna happen. Focus on trying to get into a mid tier UC's like UCI/UCSB/UCD and keep the lower tier UC's like UCSC/UCR/UCM as your safe matches. UCI/UCSB/UCD are gonna be tough too, but i think you atleast got a shot at them if you get your SAT scores up significantly. I wouldn focus on them and probably forget about UCSD/UCLA/UC Berkeley, as they dont seem realistic. Here are the freshman admit profiles for the UC schools this year. It should give you a better idea of your chances.</p>

<p>thanks everyone. im pretty sure i can break 2000 because i have room for improvement on critical reading. i'm pretty sure i can boost my CR by 150 points and writing 100 (i got 600 on the actual SAT's but lately i've been getting 700+ on practice tests from a few different sources including the official SAT book).</p>

<p>i'd like to see opinions from more people, so anyone that can, CHANCE ME!!!</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>shrinky: </p>

<p>uci: reach
ucsb: reach/slight reach
ucsd: reach</p>

<p>look towards: ucsc, ucr, ucm, and states</p>

10

<p>im assuming you live in california? yeah soo...you really need to get ur sats up. thats all u can really do right now. aim for over 2000 but that would still make ucsd a reach i think....MAYBE ucsb and uci. push your sat to 2100...</p>

11

<p>if SAT I can go up to 2000, then in at UCI and UCSB. UCSD would be a good chance if you live in CA</p>

<p>However, w/ 1700ish SATs, err maybe UCI? UCSB? UCSD is a big reach right now.</p>

12

<p>Your UC GPA is 3.4545. Current SAT I is 1790. You've taken two Calif community college courses with Bs in both of them. You ECs are fairly minimal, although the volunteer work is good and helps you at these schools.</p>

<p>UCSD--Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD--Slight Reach
UCSC--Match to Slight Reach (much closer to Match)
UCR--Match
UCM--Safety</p>

<p>Even with a 2000 SAT I you would only be about 50-50 at UCI and UCSB. If you could also get two SAT II scores of 650-700, then you would be match for these two schools. None of these scores will get you into UCSD.</p>

<p>thanks. if anyone else has anymore opinions and such, add them please. including more tips as to what i should do to get into the listed colleges.</p>
