Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I messed up my freshmen year pretty badly. Sophomore year, I took a ridiculous schedule (AP euro, ap chem, calc bc) don't know what I was thinking.</p>

<p>GPA(UW): 3.44 (will be at least 3.5 by the end of junior year)
(UC): at least 3.83 by end of this year
Freshmen: 3.25 -1 AP
Sophomore:3.33 -3 AP's
Junior(first semester): 3.66 -2 AP's, 1 IB
increasing trend, but it still sucks </p>

<p>SAT: 2330
800 M, 800 W, 730 CR</p>

<p>PSAT: 221 not sure if i'll get merit because my gpa is awful :/</p>

<p>ACT: 30
I just took this for the first time without any preparation. i'm planning to actually study and raise it to a 34ish soon, or else I won't send it.</p>

<p>SAT subjects
Math II: 800 Chem: 680 (probs will not send this)</p>

<p>AP Test Scores
Calc AB: 3 (took freshmen year, however received a subscore of 5 when I took the bc test sophomore year...increasing trend?)
Chem: 4
Calc BC: 5, AB subscore of 5
Euro: 3 (rough, I know)</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars: Meh
2 years on FIRST Robotics
President of Quizbowl
qualified for top 1000 for MMPC math competition for 3 years
2 years JV field hockey, 1 Varsity
attended a science and engineering camp at smith college (not prestigious or anything)
hopefully will attend a science and engineering thing at U of M this summer(waiting to hear if I get in)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t waste my time on ACT if I were you and your GPA is definitely your weakness here. It looks like you are into math and engineering, which makes you a reach at UCB and UCLA. UCSD has good engineering there and I would say you are a match there, as well as the three mid tier UCs. The rest are safeties. Your course rigor should help a little.</p>

<p>i calculated my UC GPA as 3.83 by the end of this year. would that be competitive?</p>

<p>Unfortunately your GPA is your weak point, but your SAT/ACT is amazing. <em>_</em> Thus:</p>

<p>UCB: reach (because of GPA)
UCLA: reach (GPA)
UCSD: low match
UCD/UCI/UCSB/etc: safety/reaaaaallly low match ^_^</p>
