<p>Awards:
-Principal’s Honor Roll</p>
<p>•I lived in Guatemala for about 14 years. I moved to the U.S. for 10th grade. I realized that my current school’s curriculum is way harder/stronger than that of the school I attended back in Guatemala. Although not a straight A’s student, I tried my best to pull a decent GPA while adapting to my new life in the US.</p>
<p>•My essay reflects my experiences during my life in Guatemala (also ties with why I chose my Econ/Int’l Area studies as my major). My English teacher and GC said it was very nice. I hope the essay will be the “hook” of my application, since anything else besides it is not that stellar…</p>

<p>chickenboi8008:</p>
<p>UCLA: Slight Reach</p>
<p>UW is about 3.5-ish

<p>btw roughly what %age is slight reach?</p>
<p>Quick chance me on a very brief description?</p>

<p>UCLA: Match</p>
<p>I am junior, but do you guys think I can get in UCLA reagents for the class of 2013?</p>
<p>Although junior year is not over yet, I am 100% sure I will have the following gpa’s.
UC GPA: 4.2
UW GPA (10th-11th): 3.8
W GPA (10th - 11th): 4.6 (All of my academic classes were honors or APs except Spanish 2)
Rank: I don’t know yet, but will be within top 10%
Will be ELC qualified.
GPA shows upward trend. A couple of B’s in soph year, but straight A’s in junior year (5.0 weighted gpa)</p>
<p>Taking 7 AP exams this year. Hoping to get national AP scholar before senior year.
AP tests taken by graduation (tentative): 14
Taking 5 or 6 AP classes in senior year.
SAT II: 780, 760, 760, and two more exams on May. Might retake a 760 (Math II)
SAT reasoning: Haven’t taken it yet. But I am scoring 2200+ on practice tests. Hoping for 2300 range when I take it on June.</p>
<p>ECs/community service (I heard you can only list a few? So I will just keep it brief):</p>
<p>Hip hop/popping dance for years now. I teach kids in my spare time and get community service hours. I have also received couple awards/recognition.
Mu Alpha Theta - President
Korean Club - VP (organized community service projects for members to do)
Helping/tutoring mentally disabled kids at a local elementary school.
Peer tutor in school - 1 hr every week.
I work at hospital reception desk for community service hours.
I am a teacher’s assistant at a Saturday Korean school. I also teach kids Korean (also for community service hours).</p>
<p>I have a lot more, but those 7 I listed are the ones I commit most of my time to. I think I will have more than 1000 community service hours by graduation.</p>
<p>Major: Economics</p>
<p>So my chances?</p>
<p>Oh and I live in CA and attend a competitive public high school.</p>
<p>GPAx213:</p>
<p>UCLA: Match</p>
<p>flopsy, is that for just getting into UCLA or UCLA with reagents? I really want that scholarship.</p>
<p>I mean UCLA regents. Since I can’t spell regents correctly, theres no way I am getting that scholarship. :(</p>
<p>Oh and would my chances at Berkeley be the same/worse/better?</p>
<p>GPAx213:</p>
<p>That’s just for getting into UCLA. I don’t know nearly as much about the standards for the Regent’s scholarship are, although I think you would be a Slight Reach for Regent’s based on comparison with passt recipients. Your chances for Berkeley are the same. Enjoy your “reagents” in chemistry class. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Oh okay thanks.</p>
<p>I was hoping I’d be a match for UCLA regents and safe match for UCLA, but alright.</p>
<p>And is econ a competitive major at UCLA? Sorry for asking so much questions.</p>
<p>It is. And it’s annoying to try to take those intro. classes. You’ll be stuck with some man talking about his wife. :rolleyes:</p>
