One great recommendation, One i’m not too sure about
Taken all AP humanities courses I can, all either advanced or honors sciences, and regular maths (geometry, algebra 2, precal, and now discrete math)
this year schedule having 3 AP’s(lit, art history, and psych) and 2 classes at a community college(intro to poli sci, and american political system)
Plan to be a history major [hence all the humanities stuff]
Extracurriculars: 350 hours of community service, 25 hours a week babysitting, VP speech and debate, tech theatre for 4 years, Junior statesmen foundation member 2 years
Awards: $100 scholarship for excellence in the study of history (2 awards given out of 600 people), School wide award for excellence in advanced biology (2 per class given so out of like 40), scholarship to attend a week long summit discussing politics and media at UCLA (got to meet many politicians and great journalists), and a $1,500 scholarship to College Apps Academy which is a service to help first gen low income students get in and excel in college
You’re in the range but their acceptances have been all over the place lately.so its hard to tell. First generation and California will help you. They have a lot of students from Northeast and want to get more from outside the area.
