<p>I'm sure this sounds familiar. I will be applying to colleges next year, and I'm wondering how I stand.</p>

<p>Looking at a 4.14 GPA (10th and 11th grade averaged)</p>

<p>2170 SAT score, 2190 PSAT (Placed for at least a Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship)</p>

<p>All 3 SAT II's over 750</p>

<p>ALl 3 AP Tests passed- one 4, two 5's. </p>

<p>I got pretty messed up sophmore year, my one and only C in an honors class. I have a very demanding schedule this year, and have bounced back nicely.</p>

<p>President of the School Business Club
Secretary for Red Cross Club
Secretary for Cancer Relief Society</p>

<p>Did JV Tennis in 10th grade, Varsity in 12th.</p>

<p>Placed 2nd and took some other minor recognitions in the local Rotary Business Contest.</p>

<p>Lifetime member of CSF and NHS (But then again, everyone is)</p>

<p>Volunteered at Asian Art museum, and overseas in a hospital- each for one month. </p>

<p>So can I make UCLA? Or is my GPA going to kill me? I've heard SAT won't make or break you. All advice is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>you look good, nail all your AP's and emphasize your leadership roles in the clubs/activities that were most important to you. as for your classes, just make sure they know you took a really demanding load.</p>

<p>you'll get in</p>
