<p>I am currently a sophomore in high school(in Los Angeles, CA). I skipped two grades. I am bilingual. I have taken my PSAT's and am taking test prep for the SATSs. How can I improve my chances and what are my chances so far of getting into these schools:
1. UCLA
2. UCSD
3. Any other UC schools
4. NYU
5. BU
6. any suggestions?</p>

<p>GPA Freshman Year: Weighted- 4.3. Unweighted- 4.0
GPA First Semester: Weighted- 3.98. Unweighted- 3.59 (Planning on getting it up second semester)</p>

<p>I am also in a dual curriculum school so I'm taking about 10 classes this year including: AP Euro, British Lit, Geometry, Jewish History, Hebrew, Honors Scriptures, Honors Biblical Literature, Honors Religious Law, Honors Advanced Talmudic Literature.
I also took a big coarse load including honors classes freshman year.</p>

<p>ExtraCurricluars:
Freshman year: Volleyball team, STUCO..
Sophomore year: FBLA (future business leaders of America), newspaper, and photography club..
Plus volunteering</p>

<p>Make sure you challenge yourself appropriately. Don’t take so many Honors/AP/IB classes that you get Bs and Cs but take just enough. Maybe try 2/3 Junior year and 3-5 Senior year. If you’re bilingual take the subject test in your language. </p>

<p>If you maintain a 3.8-4.0 UW GPA you have a good chance at: (SAT 2000-2100+)
UCB, UCLA, NYU, UCSD, also I think you could add UMich, UT Austin, UVA, and UNC Chapel Hill</p>

<p>If your GPA is between 3.5-3.7 you have a good chance at: (SAT 1850-1900+)
BU, UCSB, UCI, Cal Poly</p>

<p>Make sure you stick with your ECs throughout HS. </p>

<p>Start practicing for the SAT this summer and then be prepared to take it by January of junior year. I took it for the first time in Oct. of junior year but that may have been too early. I think its best to be done with SAT/ACT before senior year. So, I highly encourage you to take it 2-3 times by June of Jr. year. </p>

<p>Wow, you will have great chances at all of those schools with those grades! Your EC’s are pretty average, but I think you will be accepted to most of those schools.
