<p>EC's
Football 10-12th I couldn't play 9th because I broke my thumb and if I did play it would handicap me from playing piano properly</p>

<p>Piano since I was 4. I have won some prizes and awards here but I don't remember what they were.</p>

<p>Chess Club - 10-12th I am hoping to win 1st or top 3 in an upcoming tournament this year </p>

<p>Outdoor Track - 10-12th </p>

<p>Also will have 2 years of being an intern at RGH(Rochester General Hospital in New York) for the surgical unit.</p>

<p>For my SAT, I am going to keep retaking it until I have above a 2000</p>

<p>For my essay, I don't really know what I will write yet, but I was thinking about maybe how I had to move around and adapt to different situations and new schools, make new friends, etc and that I played a PC game(Starcraft which is an E-sport in south korea) that also forced me to adapt to what my opponent did.</p>

<p>My aims are
UCLA
UCSD
UCBC
Stanford(main goal)
UPenn</p>

<p>I have read a lot of stuff about Stanford Admissions, and I'm still trying to think of something that would set me apart from all the other people applying there and to stick out :(</p>

<p>It’s going to be pretty hard to bring your GPA up to a 4.0 from a 3.3 especially since freshman year is the easiest. Your ECs aren’t great. You definitely need community service and something that will set you apart. So I’ll chance you anyway:</p>

<p>UCLA: match IF you have a 4.0 and above a 2000 SAT
UCSD: same as above
UCBC: i don’t know enough about it, sorry.
Stanford: high reach
UPenn: very high reach</p>

<p>You need EC’s and a better GPA. You are going to have a very hard time getting into Standford since I had a friend with a 4.0 GPA all IB courses 2400 SAT 800 Math II and Chemistry SATII and a 36 on her ACT. She had done stunning research, a lot of community service, takes 3 math courses at a community college with all A’s, along with other prestigious awards, and she got rejected. So you have to understand, you may or may not make it. All the others I would say with your estimated GPA’s you should be fine, with a reach at UPenn…</p>

<p>Make sure you don’t take the SAT too many times, colleges don’t like to see above 2 retakes. It makes you seem like you’re obsessed.</p>

<p>How will being out of state and having an upward GPA trend affect my chances?</p>
