Hello, are my stats :):

Major: Psychology

Pre-reqs: Done

IGETC: Done

TAP: Yes. Alt major: Linguistics and Psychology

GPA: 3.59 (should be 3.70 by the end of this semester)

UCs applied to: UCLA, Davis, Irvine, San Diego, and Riverside

ECS:

President of the AGS Honors Society at my college. Secretary for Girl Up! club (a program where we focus on educational awareness for girls in the middle east). Past senator for student government.

300+ Volunteering hours in AmeriCorps student ambassador program (UC application wouldn’t let me put 3 digits so I had to put the 52 maximum hours. haha). 2 year unpaid intern at a children’s global exchange program where they travel to another country. Currently paid intern for the American Federation of Teachers. Working part time as an English tutor at my school. Presented at UCLA for a research conference

Awards: 3 scholarships last year, and I added an achievement for winning this year’s NaNoWriMo (it’s not really an academic award, but I feel being able to write a complete novel with 50,000 words under one month might mean something to them hopefully, ).

Other things that might help: I took a Chicano studies class at UCLA over the summer since I’m part of the CCCP program and did SITE PLUS. I got a B from that class, so I have an established UC GPA of 3.0.

Personal statements:

Wrote about how I was mostly prepared for my psych major because of the UCLA research program I was in that allowed me to do research in my own field, which prepares me for the rigorous demands at the UC.

Wrote about my creativity in art and how I could apply ton my major with it by drawing workshops for students to cope with mental health.

Wrote how my experience in my 2 year internship has allowed me to become a leader

Last one was sort of difficult for me. I wrote about how my talent in writing allows me to be diligent, which sets me apart from other candidates, It was hard trying not to sound cliche ^^

You have a chance!
