<p>I am currently a junior in high school(in Los Angeles, CA). I skipped two grades. I am bilingual. I have taken my PSAT's and am planning on taking my SAT's in January. How can I improve my chances and what are my chances so far of getting into these schools:
1. UCLA
2. UCSD
3. UCSB
4. UC Riverside
5. Any other UC schools
6. NYU
7. BU
8. any suggestions?</p>
<p>GPA Freshman Year: Weighted- 4.3. Unweighted- 4.0
GPA Sophomore: Weighted- 3.98. Unweighted- 3.6</p>
<p>-I am also in a dual curriculum school so I'm taking about 10-14 classes per year.
-I took AP Euro sophomore year and got a 1 but a B/B+ in the class (I have test anxiety and couldn't finish the test). Is it better to have the AP designation removed from my transcript but still count it as an honors class, or say I took AP Euro but got a 1?</p>
