<p>I'm currently living in California and am junior in high school. I want to go into engineering of some kind, but haven't decided which type yet.</p>

<p>GPA (Weighted): 4.56
GPA (Unweighted): 3.97</p>

<p>Freshman Year Classes:
AP Environmental Science (5)
H. Alg 2/Trig
H. English
Spanish 1
Health
Graphic Arts</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
AP World History (5)
AP Biology (5)
H. Precalculus (My only B was first semester in this class)
H. English 10
Spanish 2</p>

<p>Jr. Year:
AP Calculus BC (Projected 5, on AB subscore and BC)
AP US History (Projected 5)
AP Language and Composition (Projected 5)
AP Physics (Projected 5)
Spanish 3</p>

<p>Sr. Year:
AP Statistics
AP MacroEcon
AP Government
AP Literature
AP Art History
AP Chemistry</p>

<p>SAT: M: 670
CR: 710
W: 650
This is without studying. I'm retaking it in a month, and hope to break 2250, and raise my math score significantly. I'm also taking subject tests in two months. (US History, Math 2, and Physics)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Cross Country (Will be varsity for 1 year. Will have done for all 4 years.)
Track and Field (Will be varsity for 2 years. Will have done for all 4 years.)
Founder of Math Club
Competing member of Science Olympiad Team/Club
Member of California Scholarship Federation and National Honor Society
100+ Hours CC at local library
Building a Farnsworth Fusor (expected to be finished/functional before the end of this summer)</p>

<p>What are my chances for:
Berkeley
MIT
Stanford
UCLA
CalPoly SLO
UCSB</p>

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>With your current SAT scores I think it’s
MIT - Reach
Stanford - Reach
Berkeley - Reach (I heard their engineering is really difficult to get into)
UCLA - Low Reach
UCSB - Match
CPSLO - Match</p>

<p>If you get that 2250, I’d say UCLA will be more of a high match school and Berkeley a low reach/high match. Stanford and MIT are very selective and are reach schools for practically everyone, but that shouldn’t discourage you from trying.</p>
