<p>Heh...Uni student right? If you can continue getting good grades in 11th, UCLA and UCB should be no problem to get into, as long as you up your SAT score. But looking at your schedule for 11th, you'll really need to work hard to keep those grades up. I know ap bio and chem together were death for me, and ap calc was just tons of homework. I'd say HYPSM are reaches for everyone, just because a few people from uni this year who everybody expected to get into those schools didn't get into a single one. But hey, good luck!</p>

<p>bumpety bump</p>

11

<p>bummppp...bump...please help!!</p>

<p>eeeek! stop bumping. HYPMS are huge reaches because you didn't win any national awards, and that's just the way it goes. (lol, i'm not saying you should go out and win national awards, i'm just saying that nothing's certain for even the most amazing people). Your SAT's are also a little weak for these schools, but the sat II's are good. i'd give you a 15% chance at HYPMS, maybe 20% if you get your SAT's up and write good essays.</p>
