<p>I've been freaking out like crazy lately because I have no idea which colleges I actually have a chance of getting in to! My all time dream school is UCLA, but I'm also applying to USC, UCSD, UC Berkeley...those are my most far reach ones.
& I'm applying to UC Irvine, maybe Davis, and Chapman.
I have a 3.8 UW GPA, about a 4.2 Weighted
Freshman- 4.0
Soph- 4.15 (1 AP)
Junior- 4.5 (4 AP's and Honors)
Senior- Currently taking 4 AP's and I'm guessing I'll have around a 4.2-4.6</p>
<p>I have a good amount of extracurriculars but haven't done any sports in high school, involved in Leadership and other clubs, and have about 600 hours of community service & I started and run a youth group at my church.
My SAT is not great 1870 (I'm debating whether to retake it in Dec or to take subject tests because I don't have any!)
I'm a first generation college student, I'm black, my parents are both immigrants to America.
I'm trying to work on building up my personal statement, I'm a horrible writer (English is my 2nd language btw).
Anyways, realistically, do I have a chance at UCLA or USC?
& If not do you think I can rely on getting into Irvine!
Everyone's saying I have a huge advantage because I'm black, but I really don't know what to listen to anymore, thanks in advance for the help!</p>
