<p>Though I'd repost in this part of the forum to get more replies</p>
<p>First a little basic information. I'm a junior in a rather competitive public high school(99% graduation rate and 96% 4-year college/university and plenty of kids reaching top-notch schools). I'm an Asian-American from California along with most of my school. I'm a first gen Asian and my parents have college degrees, but from China.</p>
<p>As for my grades, I'd say that I'm about above average at best.
Class - 1st semester grade - 2nd semester grade
Sophomore year:
Marching Band - A - A
Jazz Band - A - A
Chemistry Honors - A - B
Spanish 2 - B - B
English 2 Honors - B - B
Math Analysis/Pre-calc Honors - A - B</p>
<p>And so far in Junior year:
Marching Band - A - A(projected)
AP Calculus - B - A(projected)
Spanish 3 - B - B(projected)
English 3 AP(Language and comp) - C(B with grade change) - A(projected)
AP US History - A - A(projected)
AP Chemistry - B - A(Projected)</p>
<p>projected unweighted: 3.79
projected weighted: 3.8 - 3.9
What I put as my Projected grade is probably going to be spot on because of my school's grade change policy that come with getting a 4/5 on the AP test.
I'm definitely confident that I'll be able to pull out at least 4's on all of my AP tests</p>
<p>For senior year, I'll be taking about the same workload as I am junior year.</p>
<p>As for SAT scores, I have only taken it once,
Critical reading: 580 .___.
Writing: 700 (10 essay)
Math: 770
Total: 2050
I'll be taking the SAT two more times, and I'm hopefully going to get better scores
For SAT II'S i'll be taking Math2C, Chem, and maybe US History, and I'm projecting a score of 680 - 800 on each.</p>
<p>I am in the school marching band, and will be for the remainder of my high school career. I am in the band's leadership program and will be a section leader next year
I also participate in 3 clubs currently, 2 of them for 3 years, and 1 of them for 2.
I have completed 10 levels(9 years) of the certificate of merit program for piano
This summer I'll be either volunteering at a science center for children or an internship for a computer company</p>
<p>The primary university that I'm aiming for is UCSD, but I'll also be applying to UCLA, UCB, UCI, and UC Davis. Outside of the UC, I'll be also applying to Cal-tech and perhaps some of the Claremont colleges</p>
<p>So what exactly are my chances? With finals over and with me receiving the first C I have ever gotten, I've recently been worrying about my potential with these colleges.</p>
