Hi there! I’m approaching the end of my junior year, and I wanted to see if someone could gauge what my chances were for SCU/recommend any tips for improving my chances?
These are my current stats as of the end of the first semester of junior year:

Total GPA- 3.56UW & 4.0W
10-12 GPA- 3.58UW & 4.18W
Class Rank- 87 out of 594
PSAT- 1250
1st SAT- 1240
2nd SAT- 1210
ACT-25 (Didn’t plan on sending this at all; it was a test I took cold turkey)
AP TESTS:
–Chemistry- 2
(Will be taking Capstone Seminar, Biology, and Language Comp this week; I’ve gotten 4’s on the practice exams based on the old AP tests released)
Hooks:
-First Generation
-Asian?
-Female in Computer Science
Extra Info:
