Chances at the UCs?

<p>Hey guys I'm a rising senior at a fairly decent high school (API: 840+). I'm really interested in the UCs and would greatly appreciate if you would chance me for them.</p>

<p>State: CA
GPA UW: 3.85-excluded Athletics Periods of course ;)
GPA W: 4.39
Class Rank: 19/667 (Top 5%)
SAT I: 2100 (Will be retaking in Oct.)
SAT II: Bio-700
Math II- 720</p>

<p>AP Scores:
Psychology-5
European Hist-5
Stats-3 (Oops is all I can say, no idea what happened)
Calc AB- Senior Year
Environmental Science- Senior Year
AP English- Senior Year</p>

<p>I tried to take more APs in junior year but the classes filled up before I could get into them (AP US Hist, AP Calc, AP English) so I was essentially forced to take Honors. Our school like most public schools I assume is very underfunded.</p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<p>-3 years with the baseball team (Freshman, JV). Hurt my arm in junior year but was part of the team (bat boy, etc lol). Planning to help/ be part of the team for senior year. </p>

<p>-Local baseball team I helped create (Co-Captain) won district but lost in state.</p>

<p>-Selected for Boy's State CA (Only representative selected from my school of close to 2,000), reached leadership position of mayor at the camp (cities consisted of 30-40 boys).</p>

<p>-President for 3 years of a club that raises money for underfunded youth sports programs. (Organized multiple equipment drives that have raised an estimated value of 2000 dollars worth in sports equipment and renovated 2 local sports fields)</p>

<p>-Leadership position in ASB (In charge of essentially all of the schools activities and student budget)</p>

<p>-President of Space Science Club for 3 years (Couple of 2nd place finishes at local competitions, hoping to win one this year)</p>

<p>-One of the chairmen (out of ten students) for the school's drunk driving and texting while driving programs. (organized and played a major role in fundraising for a real drunk driving accident scene on campus)</p>

<p>-Founded and currently lead a program for tutoring elementary students for 2 years (over 18 well qualified high school tutors and counting).</p>

<p>-Internship at a local science company for 3 years during the summer.</p>

<p>-Worked as a Student Aid for a local Summer School for 2 years (120 work hours apx.)</p>

<p>-Then proceeded to use the money made from working to fund raise for a local charity that builds houses for the homeless in Mexico. Through various fundraising methods (countless bake sales, selling chocolate bars, etc, etc) raised around 4000 dollars. Hopeful to raise enough to build an entire house by end of senior year.</p>

<p>-Organized a local concert at the park for charity. Scheduled to happen later this year so I am hopeful it will be a success.</p>

<p>Misc EC's:
-Officer of Korean Culture Club
-Member of the Culinary Club (probably my favorite because of all the eating)
-NHS Member
-Key Club Member
-Invisible Children Member
-Officer of the Starcraft Club (I like this one too)
-Student Tutor
-Sort of home business selling eBay items for individuals (managed to make decent money 3.5 grand range during 2 years)
-800+ community service hours in total (Presidents Service Award in Gold x3)</p>

<p>Sorry for the wall of text. My EC's are fairly unfocused but I love doing anything that involves getting people together to help a good cause. Thank You for taking the time to read over this.</p>

<p>Looks awesome. You shouldn’t have any problems getting into any of the UCs. You’re really lucky being a cal resident and all too!! But with UCs economic issues, maybe you should consider some private schools? You seem like you’d have a good chance at many of the Ivies too. Good luck!</p>

<p>Probably in for all the UCs. :)</p>
