<p>Hi! I've never really done this before, but like all other upcoming seniors I'm getting a bit nervous about college apps. I don't think anything I have is really that strong, especially my test scores, but I'd like to get some other opinions :) I'm pretty new at this but I'll try to chance back if asked! </p>
<p>GPA: 3.76/4.1 UW/W
SAT: 2020 (will retake again this October)
SAT II: not taken yet (will take Biology M, USH, and Mandarin though)
ACT: not taken yet
Intended major: Not sure yet, I'm honestly drifting somewhere between biology (which could give me a stable career..? even though science isn't my strongest) or something towards communications, because I love working and helping with people in that sort of environment.</p>
<p>APs:
AP Chem: 2
APUSH: 3
AP Bio: 3</p>
<p>Freshman year: English Honors 1, Geometry Honors 1, Biology Honors, PE, Health/Freshman Seminar, Spanish 2</p>

<p>ECs:
Member of CSF (10-12)
Secretary of NHS (12)
President of the National Music Honor Society (12, member since 10)
Member of Interact volunteer service club (10-12)
Drama pianist (9-12)
School district choral accompanist (5-12...although I don't think colleges look at anything before high school? :( )
Student director of the choirs at my school (9-12)
Volunteer at a nursing home (12)</p>
<p>I am also a student cultural ambassador for Taiwan and I have held a part time job teaching music to younger students. </p>
<p>Currently I am only looking at applying to UCs, since I don't think my stats can get me anywhere higher than that anyways. I will definitely be applying to UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, UC Davis, UC Riverside and UC Santa Cruz as backups, and possibly UCLA...</p>
<p>If there are any other decent universities you think I could get admission to, please let me know too!</p>
