<p><strong>This is a re-post with updated information: UC GPA, AP scores, etc</strong></p>
<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I am a rising senior and I was wondering if you could chance me for some of the UC schools I'm thinking about applying to? I'm still a little unsure on my major, because I don't know if I want to go into medicine in the future or not (If I am, I'm going to apply for an easier major and if not then I'll probably apply for Chemistry or Biology).</p>
<p>My GPA isn't stellar, because I started off poorly from freshman year all the way to half of my sophomore year. For the second half of my sophomore year and all of my junior year, I was able to get near 4.0's. I do have an increasing grade trend that I plan on carrying up until the end of my senior year. I also had a C+ and C in my Algebra I and Physics 2 Honors classes. I didn't take my Algebra I class seriously and I took the Physics class too early and it was right after I had a bad experience in my Algebra I class.</p>
<p>I've only taken two AP classes (Chemistry and Chinese) along with a University of Washington Earth Space Science 101 course (got a 3.8 in the class) and three honors classes: English 10, Chemistry 2 and Physics 2. </p>
<p>I also had an accident in the second semester of my junior year, causing me to miss some class and dropping out of tennis for the season. During that time, I worked on a club constitution for a future Chemistry club with my friend.</p>
<p>Background:
Asian
Female
Out-of-state
Income below $40k</p>
<p>Thinking of majoring in Chemistry or Biochemistry, but I'm planning on going into Medicine, so I may choose an easier major (any suggestions?)</p>
<p>GPA UW: 3.692
GPA W: 3.885
UC GPA: 4.11</p>
<p>Freshman: UW 3.565
Sophomore: UW 3.54 or 3.55 (Bad 1st semester)
Junior: UW 3.95</p>
<p>Honors and AP Courses:
Honors English (2 semesters): B/B
Honors Physics 2: C
Honors Chemistry 2: A-
AP Chemistry (2 semesters): A-/A
AP Chinese(2 semesters): A/A
NOTE: I also took a University of Washington course and I'm not sure if this gets weighted but I got an A in both semesters, earning a GPA of 3.8. I did NOT calculate this in my UC GPA from above.</p>
<p>SAT First Time:
CR: 550
M: 690
W: 690 (67 MC, 9 Essay)
NOTE: I plan on retaking this in October!</p>
<p>SAT II:
Chemistry: 670
NOTE: I will be taking Math lvl 1 in November (I have yet to take precalc). I'm also debating whether if I should retake Chemistry, because I did not prepare myself at all for this test and I didn't even know that we couldn't use a calculator)</p>
<p>AP's: AP Chemistry (3), AP Chinese (4)
NOTE: I will have taken 6 AP's (including Chinese and Chemistry) by the time I am done with senior year</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
VA Hospital Volunteer -- Sophomore year: 146 hours, Junior Year: Should be about 130 hours
Job at Baskin Robbins (Just got hired)
Chemistry Club Co-founder and Vice President
Senior Service Club
Tennis JV3 (sophomore) --> JV2 (junior, but then I had to drop out due to my accident & never received credit)
Key Club Volunteer
Member of Science Club
National Honor Society</p>
<p>My schedule for Senior Year is as follows:</p>
<p>AP Environmental Science
AP Biology
Precalculus
AP Psychology
English 12 Honors
AP Comparative Government</p>
<p>I know I'm not a stellar student, but I'm aiming for UC schools such as:
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UCSB
UCSD
UC Irvene</p>
<p>and University of Washington, Seattle (Not UC, but I would love to get in!)</p>
<p>If I could get input on my college choices that would be very much appreciated. :) Are there any other UC schools that I should add to this list, or other schools in general? As mentioned before, I wish to go into medicine in the future so I may choose easy majors for these schools, or chemistry/biochemistry/biology. Thank you in advance!</p>
<p>(Also, what do you think my target SAT score should be for these colleges?)</p>
