<p>Hi so i desperately want to go to UC Davis (or UC Santa Barbara) and I was looking for another, outside opinion on my chances. I really want to work with animals (like zoo keeping) and really would need I get into the Bio department... THANK YOU !!
I'm going to be a junior in the fall and my gpa for freshman and sophomore year unweighted is 3.87, weighted 3.92.
My high school is really good (but competitive).

senior year:
AP English Lit, pre calc Honors, AP environmental, (maybe AP) gov/econ, AP physics, AP Psych.</p>
<p>I havent really had a lot of practice with the SAT yet but for the last week ive been practicing and I took a full length practice sat with essay and got an 1820 but im really going to start practicing and try to bring my score up.</p>
<p>Extracurricularish stuff:
I volunteer a LOT with a bunch of organizations like my school's red cross, key club, etc. as well as outside of school at my local lagoon conservancy, boy's and girl's club, library, animal shelter, and the san diego zoo. I tried to make a rough calculation of my hours and its about 500 over the last two years.
At my school, i founded and am president of a couple of clubs including a wildlife/environment one and a british culture appreciation club xD (I lived in England). I'm also a Red Cross rep/coordinator at my school.
I'm planning to get a job (just doing concessions) at the zoo next summer and go on a trip to Australia with a high school travel program to work at the zoo there for experience.
family stuffs:
My mom attended college but didnt finish and my dad never went. I'm half white and half mexican/native american.
Okay then that's all i can think to add.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS, IT MEANS A LOT!!! <3 <3</p>
