<p>*My essays are about my aspirations of becoming a civil rights attorney and about moving to the US from Germany in the 4th grade and what it taught me. I think I’m a good writer, so they should help me. </p>

<p>**I plan on taking the AP German test through self-study this May.</p>

<p>Match at all the UCs. You don't need to take the SAT again. But you are SATII scores are somewhat below average for both UCLA/Berkeley. Maybe take those again?</p>

<p>Thanks. :) Anyone else?</p>

<p>Agree with the guy above, good chance at all UC's. I'd retake SATII's though...
Any athletics? It would show balance.
Chance back?</p>

<p>Bump...anyone else? I was thinking I was a slight reach, not a match so I'd love some input.
And btw..what ballpark percentages does each prediction represent? Like is a reach 20-30 percent?</p>
