<p>hey all, so im sort of in a depressed mood rite now because i am not doing too well in school.</p>

<p>i just finished my junior year in high school and wanted to know my chances for UCSD, Uc Davis, Uc Irvine, Uc Santa Barbara...</p>

<p>Sophomore year
1st semster:</p>

<ul>
<li>3.5 weighted
-3.3 unweighted</li>
</ul>

<p>2nd:
-3.5 weighted
-3.3 un weighted</p>

<p>Junior year:</p>

<p>-2.5 weighted <strong><em>Major reason</em></strong>*
-2.1 unweighted</p>

<p>2nd semster:
4.6 Weighted
4.0 un weighted</p>

<p>I have Sat score of 2190, 3 years varsity tennis, state level chess, medical internship form Dartmouth IVY, over 100 volunteer hours.</p>

<p>So the reason for my 1st semester fail in my junior year was because there was a tragedy to a close one in my family, and it affected me emotionally to the point where i couldn't sleep.</p>

<p>So do u think i have a good chance, and colleges will understand my loss during my first semester? I worked extremely hard my 2nd semster.</p>

<p>Can you tell me what to do now from here, to fulfill my dream of becoming a doctor.... and what college out of the ones presented will i get into?</p>

<p>UC’s only look at your GPA from Sophomore and Junior Years, so that 2.1 GPA will hurt you. You will need to explain the situation in one of your essays but your grades look impressive 2nd semester so keep it up. Continue to do well your Senior year. Might want to retake SAT to get it higher to offset the GPA. I would also add UCSC & UCR (which recently opened a Med School) to your college list. Are in California?? A couple of Cal States or privates might help as safeties. Good Luck</p>

<p>No i just finished junior year, my school every year is 2 semesters. My junior year, semester 1 i failed… semester 2 i just worked hella hard</p>

5

<p>Yes, i live in california what are my chances at santa barbara, davis or irvine? which do i have the highest?</p>

<p>I’m very confused by your statement that you just finished Jr year. Most CA schools are in session well into May - at least.</p>

<p>You MUST explain the situation that caused your Junior grades to drop. Your 2910 gives you a good shot at Davis, SB, and Irvine, SD would be a reach for you. However, with a good essay that explained your tragedy during your Junior year, I think you have a good chance!</p>
