<p>currently a junior IB diploma candidate; Male in California

Rank= was 7/729 now probably 5 or so (top 1%)
SAT (took it once) = 2180
SATII = expecting 800 Math2C, 750 US history and 700 Chem
APs: European History = 5
ECs: Red Cross member 10-11, FBLA officer 11 (member 10-11), JV Tennis, Sigma Pie member -10, CSF 9-11, Hospital Volunteer, Library Tutor
Comm Service HRS= around 250 by application time.
Recommendations = Great -> Excellent</p>

<p>9th classes= IB MYP Geography, Geometry Hnrs, IB MYP LA, IB MYP Biology (not AP), Spanish I, P.E</p>

<p>10th classes= Accelerated Math (Precal/Algebra II combo), MYP IB LA, Chemistry Honors, AP European History, Intro to Computers, Spanish II</p>

<p>11th classes= AP Calculus ABC (both AB and BC in one year), AP Chem, Physics Hrns, IB LA, AP US History, Spanish III. </p>

<p>I only have 1 B so far which was in MYP LA in 10th grade. GPA from this last semester was 4.81.</p>

<p>Ill be taking the SAT again in OCT 06</p>

<p>Will dropping from IB Diploma Candidate to just Certificate hurt my chances at these schools. I say this because i REALLY do not want to take AP Spanish and I'd rather take AP Statistics instead of Math Methods SL next year for college credit.</p>

<p>You shouldn't have much of a problem getting in to any of the UCs.</p>

<p>Berkley: Match
UCLA:match, pretty much safety
USC, UCSD are locks.</p>

<p>-i cant imagine dropping IB would really hurt, but then again im not very knowledgable on the subject.</p>
