In-state Applicant
Semi-large pre-dominantly (almost 70%) Asian suburban (kind of) Los Angeles Area public school [ very competitive – many people tied for valedictorian and with 4.0 UW / My GPA is very average ]
Decent family income
Other special factors (first generation to college, legacy, athlete, etc.):
Legacy *I don’t think UC’s count this though – UCI, UCLA
Loss of 2 family members (junior, senior)
One parent is absent from the house for late junior year-present (note:not because they did something wrong but due to family issues)
Intended Majors: Psychology, Film/Media Studies
3.82 UW GPA
Coursework
4 APs [ Biology, APUSH(4), Lit/Comp, Psychology ]
1 Honor Class [ Eng 3H ]
- I know it’s super mediocre and I really regret not taking more APs or honor classes at least
- I will note that I did get 2 C’s in senior fall semester, but I am usually a A student with few B’s
Major Related Courses: AP Psychology, AP Biology (kind of)
