Chances at top UCs, I feel like living in the shadow

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>What is the chances of getting into UCLA, Berkley, or UCSD with the following:</p>

<p>EC: very weak
involved in Key Club 4 years and Concert Band for 3 years, 1 year of Marching Band.
No Leadership
Play badminton regularly but not in team, since our school got none
200+ hours of service</p>

<p>Academic:
GPA(unweight): 3.93
weighted: 4.26
ELC Student
SAT Reasoning: 1700(first time), 1980(second time)
SAT Subject:
Chemistry: 780
Chinese:800
Math:690
US:680
AP: 2 5s on Chem. and Calc
2 4s on Human Geography and US History
ELC Student
Taking 4 other AP classes currently</p>

<p>Others:
Asian, came to US for only 4 and a half years, started as 8th grader</p>

<p>I am planning on taking 2 more times of SAT, but I heard that it is really BAD to take it more than 3 times. Is that true? Should I take them? But what about the score choice thing? I can just submit the best score and not the other three and UC won't know that I took it for 4 times, or would they?</p>

<p>Also, do you think it is outstanding to achieve these stats in merely 4.5 years of immigration? Cause I am mentioning it in my personal statement.</p>

<p>Everything looks strong except the SATI. Get that to 2100 and you’d be strong for all 3. With tens of thousands of applicants, many immigrants, I don’t think they have time to parse who has been here how long. Your best bet is to achieve higher than average stats than last years’ class, which was about 4.2/2050 at Cal and LA.</p>

<p>You should be good at UCSD. Ther point system allows you to approximate your points and compare it with how many points it took last year.</p>
