<p>Hi, so I'll be a rising senior and CMC is my dream school so I was wondering if I have a good shot.</p>
<p>GRADES/GPA: 3.70 (UW) for grades 10-11, 4.47 (W) for grades 9-12
-Course Rigor: Fairly rigorous
took all honors classes in freshmen, all honors in sophomore and one AP, three APs (Chemistry, US History, Lang&Comp.) and honor classes, and for senior year I'll be taking four AP classes.</p>
<p>TESTING:SAT: (yet to be taken, I took one in Jan and got 1910) but I'm aiming for 2100+
SAT II: Chinese with Listening- 730
Chemistry-680
US History-680
QUICK QUESTION: If I got below 700 on my SAT II's should I not submit it? I want to retake it, but I don't think I'll have time because I want to apply ED and I'm taking the SAT I in Oct. and the apps are due early Nov, so I can't really take it and submit it....so should I submit it or not?</p>
<p>Human Geo: 5
Chem: not out
US History: not out
AP Eng 3: not out</p>
<p>EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
~Key Club (4 years)
-Cabinet
~NHS (3 years)
~The Supply Edu. Group
-Co-founder/financial adviser
~American Red Cross (2 years)
-Cabinet
~Pomona Valley Hopsital (2 years)

-shadowed the orthodontist/dentist</p>
<p>LETTER OF RECS:
GLC- will be fairly good
Two teachers: Math and US History-- I know the history teacher will write a really good one and for math teacher will probably be alright.
Additional recs: for CMC, I'm having my CMC prof write one for me. I'm hoping he can boost my chances because I'm pretty sure he's going to write a strong one since he likes my work ethic and just in general. </p>
<p>Do you guys think that'll help me?</p>
<p>SPORTS:
Color Guard (1year)
-won Most Improved Award on my team
-won Sweepstakes and went to regional comp (but didn't place)</p>
<p>Schools (not in order):
CMC
UC Berkley
UCLA
UCSD
UCD
UCR
UCI
Chapman
NYU
USC
JHU (a stretch, I know)
Scripps
Pitzer</p>
<p>PS:</p>
<p>Will being Asian hinder my chances?
Is my GPA too low?
I heard CMC is really big on leadership and ECs. Is that true?
Since they have the need-blind financial aid, it won't hurt my chances if I'm in need of money right?
Will an interview increase my chances?
Will applying ED increase my chances a lot? </p>
<p>THANK YOU!!!
Your answers are much appreciated! :)</p>
