<p>I'm currently a junior.
My grades for Sophomore year were not that good(I did some stupid stuff that year):

Precalculus Honors, B+, A-
Spanish, C-, B
AP European History, A-, A
Accelerated English, B, B

<p>Junior year so far, and I'm planning on getting at least one more A during my second semester, which is this semester.
(Last Semester Grades)
Drama A+
AP Calculus B/C B+
AP U.S. History A-
Cell Biology Honors A
English Honors A-
Physics A-</p>
<p>My SAT Score is 2060.
SAT II Chinese 750.
SAT Math IIC 720.</p>
<p>I'm planning on taking the AP Biology Test since I'm taking cell biology.
I'm also planning on taking SAT II Biology(Molecular), SAT II U.S. History.</p>
<p>I am the vice president of a fairly large Key Club at my school.
I also do extracurricular activities such as cross country, badminton, and violin.
I have over 200+ hours of community service.</p>
<p>Are my chances of getting into UC Irvine good? How about UC San Diego?</p>
<p>Firstly, your SATs are great for these schools. The average Berkeley SAT is 2050 or so, UCSD and Irvine are definitely lower. Try raising your grades this semester to all As, and take a very hard courseload next year (they don't see your grades in making the decisions, so who cares if you don't do that well, as long as you don't bomb them). I would say if you did this, and try raising your SATs a little bit higher, you should be in. Even if you don't raise them, you still have a decent shot at both (though, as previously stated, SD is a bit harder to get into).</p>
<p>Dude, we have pretty similar transcripts (bad f/s year, higher grades j year) and high SATs. It's great relief to know people are telling you that you have a chance at those schools, I am interested in UC's as well. </p>
<p>Although, my grades are a ton lower and you have better E.C. activities. So, thats bad news for me. </p>
<p>I'd say they are both a match, but obviously UCSD will be a little more of a reach.</p>
