<p>Hello, </p>
<p>First of all I wanna say that I've been reading and lurking on this forum for a while now, and you guys are always great help :)! </p>
<p>Here is my question.</p>
<p>I am a high-school student, thinking of applying to Universities as a Philosophy Major. </p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD for Philosophy? </p>
<p>High School GPA: 3.7
SAT: Got 1950 on the first try, now taking it again in October hoping for a 2000+ score (Practicing my ass off :P )
I took a total of 6 AP classes in High School (AP English Lang, AP Eng Lit, AP Spanish Lang, AP US History, AP Physics, AP US Gov)
I got As in all of my APs last year as a junior, and currently maintaining As in my current APs.
Last year I got a 4 on the AP US test, 5 on Spanish (I am not Hispanic), and a 4 on English.
I have over 300 Community Service hours at a local hospital.
I also volunteer as a coach at my local YMCA.
Started a philosophy club this year in my school as well. </p>
<p>So, what are my chances of getting into any of those schools if I declare as a major in Philosophy or maybe even History? </p>
<p>I heard that the acceptance rate at UCLA for example is much higher for those applying as Philosophy major than lets say Medical (obviously). </p>
<p>Thank you for all of your help!!!!</p>
<p>Edit: I am attending a Magnet High School school, I don't know if that is going to have an effect.</p>
