<p>Hey guys, I'm an Asian Indian junior from a fairly competitive (albeit public) high school in California and I was wondering about my chances at some of the higher-end UCs.</p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>GPA: 3.71 UW - 4.03 W
SAT: 2240 (770w/750m/720cr)
SAT Subject Tests: taking ush/biom/math2 in May/June
ACT: planning to take in fall, expected score anywhere from 32-35
APs: 4 on Euro, taking USH/Bio/Stats/AB this May</p>
<p>ECs/Community Service/Volunteering: (fairly weak)</p>
<p>Boy Scout (Life Rank) for ~5 years
Piano for ~10 years
Music Guild - Nationally Distinguished
Guitar for ~5 years
Bhangra (dance) for ~10 years
100+ hours serving food at Gurdwara (religious temple)
Took EPGY Algebra II & C++ courses online
Job at Kumon</p>
<p>That's about it for me. I'm mostly interested in UCs so chances for those would be preferred. Thank you all in advance! (=</p>
<p>oh yeah forgot to add Varsity Parliamentary Debate (since frosh year) onto my ECs</p>
<p>Berkeley’s a slight reach, UCLA is a match, UCSD match, rest easy.</p>
<p>any idea on what might help me raise my chances? im not very interested in berkeley but i am VERY interesed in ucsd so i would like to be as safe as possible.</p>
<p>anyone? any input is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>I think you’re in a UCSD and UCLA, and Davis and Irvine would be easy.</p>
<p>Honestly I think you’re in at UCSD, but colleges love to see applicants who are involved in leadership positions so perhaps try to become a board member of a club or organization at your school. Also an internship would help, unpaid is best.</p>
<p>Heighten the GPA, and get 5’s in all the AP tests lol. Otherwise, retaking the SAT for a 2300+ would help a lot too.</p>
<p>if i can clutch a 34 or 35 on the act would that help me?</p>
<p>sorry for all the questions haha im just really worried</p>
<p>im also interested in usc and uop for dental.</p>
<p>I got into Berkeley with roughly the same GPA, lower SAT, and practically zero ECs if that’s any indicator. I also got into Irvine. So I think your chances at all of the UCs are pretty good</p>
<p>thanks for the feedback!
anyone else? D:</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance for cal. I think that for you it’ll mostly depend on how well the holistic part goes (essays!). A 34-35 on the ACT would be awesome!</p>
<p>…your EC’s put you at a level higher than you think; try a low Ivy as well!</p>
<p>You’re honestly into every single UC + USC.
Don’t trip haha…
Although that UW GPA is a bit low, it shouldn’t affect you too much</p>
<p>I apologize for bumping this after quite a while, but I wanted to get an estimate on my chances for BU. Anyone?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
