Hey guys, apps are out so there is nothing I can do at this point anyway. I’m a Mexican/Filipino male and CA resident. Here are my final stats:

GPA: (my school has smaller selection of honors and AP classes, and we must take a religion course each semester)
UC UW: 3.88 (oof)
UC Capped: 4.21
UC Uncapped: 4.28

SAT Tests:
SAT w/ Essay: 1530 (800 M 730 R) (17 Essay)
Math II: 770
Physics: 720 (self-learned)

AP: (school limits how many AP’s you can take and when)
World History: 4
US History: 4
Physics 1: 4
Lang: 4

Senior Year First Semester Schedule: (Got straight A’s here)
AP Calc AB (my school has pretty poor acceleration rules)
AP Lit
AP Gov
AP Physics C
Honors Philosophy (to be replaced by Ethics II: Social Issues next semester)
Anatomy and Sports Medicine

Extracurricular Activities:
SEAP Internship (Paid research internship with Department of Naval Research)
Varsity Letter in Tennis since freshman year
Volunteer Math Tutor
Campus Ministry work, including mission trips to Philly and Guatemala
Youth Ministry Leadership for my church

Awards:
Perhaps my biggest award would be that I received an NROTC Marine Option scholarship
AP Scholar with Honors
National Hispanic Scholar
And a few smaller things

I felt like my essays were pretty decent, but you never know.

I’m a high school senior, so my opinion here is probably not useful (I’ll say it anyway). You seem like a very competitive applicant! The way I see it, you have a pretty good chance of getting in! Like you said, at this point, there’s not much that can be done, but I’d tell you to be confident. Good luck! :slight_smile:
