<p>Hi I'm brand new to this site.
Mexican
Male, 2nd gen., parents attended a 4 year, was raised in the east side during my early childhood
Currently a Senior</p>

<p>3.6 UW 3.8 Weighted GPA-important issue as to why it is not as competitive. Also, took a challenging course load.</p>

<p>SAT: 2090
CR-670
M-770
W-650</p>

<p>Want to become the first doctor(oncologist) in my family. I lost one of my friends to cancer when I was nine.</p>

<p>Have been doing monetary services(my idea) since I was nine and have raised over $5,000
Wahed cars, paint pictures, etc. all donations benefit the Oakland's Children Hospital, St. Jude's, and the American Cancer Society.
Was accepted and participated in a medical program over ther summer('12)
Volunteer at local hospital.
Aslo, grew out my hair for locks-of-love when I was ten, since then many friends and family have done the same</p>

<p>M.E.Ch.A. Club-3 years
Treasurer-Senior year</p>

<p>S.T.A.N.D. Club- 2 years
Helped aid children in Uganda and Ethipoia with bed nets, school supplies, and even goats through various fundraisers. Will be running for a position.</p>

<p>C.S.F.- four semesters
Many community service hours, active member</p>

<p>Varsity Tennis Team- 3 years
Hope to be team captain, not expecting to be recruited. However, I'll probably be ranked 2nd on my team~ fairly good team.</p>

<p>Tutor since 9th grade
Have tutored various subjects from pre-algebra to biology</p>

<p>By when I graduate, I will have attended three high schools, for private reasons/issues. Reason as to why GPA is not as competitive and not as many years with clubs and sports.</p>

<p>Your GPA is really going to hold you back from getting into these schools. I’d raise my SAT score to compensate. If you have a good enough reason, that might make it not as harmful.</p>

3

<p>As of now no chance at stanford(gpa and sat) others are possible</p>

4

<p>About how high should my SAT be, more or less?</p>

5

<p>With that GPA I’m going to say a 2200/2250 for Berkeley. It’s possible, you just have to study.</p>

6

<p>Ok thanks, the 2090 is just an idea from the first practice test, I have not taken the official SAT. I know my writing score will definitely go up, due to there being an essay. Does it help that I’m hispanic? (:</p>

7

<p>I’m not sure if being hispanic helps. I know being asian helps at Berkeley, though I suppose that doesn’t apply to you :P.</p>

<p>Just remember to practice. Get an SAT prep book, if you don’t already have one, and go through all of the practice tests/study the material. The next SAT test is October 7th (deadline is coming up), so you still have a lot of time to study.</p>

<p>Edit: Also, what are you planning on majoring in?</p>

8

<p>Alright and I am planning to take the one in October. Biology or Public Health.</p>

9

<p>Any other advice?</p>
