<p>Hey, I'm a Northern California junior and I want to know what kind of chances I have.

<p>Stanford (legacy, and sibling attends)
Pomona
Claremont McKenna
UC Davis
UCLA
UC Berkeley (legacy if it counts)
Colorado College
ummmm others???</p>

<p>Freshman Schedule/Semester Grade
Hon English A-/A-
Hon Geometry B/B
PE- A/A
Hon Spanish A/A
Hon Bio B/A

<p>Sophomore Schedule/Semester Grade
Hon Alg 2- A/A-
PE- A/A
Hon Spanish 3- A/A
Hon WHist- A/A+
Hon Eng- A-/A

<p>GPA as of end of Sophomore year

...think those are right, I know Weighted is...</p>

<p>Junior schedule and quarter grades, should hopefully go up for some:</p>

<p>AP Spanish- A
AP Lang & Comp- A-
APUSH- B+
Hon Precalc- B
Ac Chemistry- A+
Orchestra- A</p>

<p>I'm in Ac chem because of a scheduling issue (I would have taken Honors)</p>

<p>I took the PSAT last year for the first time, need to do better I know:
Math 60
CR 64
Writing 61</p>

<p>Again, these WILL go up. It was my first time taking the test, just to see what it was like...
I took it again recently, haven't gotten scores yet; I plan to take SAT, some subject tests, ACT later in the year.</p>

<p>I've played the violin for eight years and been in the school orchestra for three. I am currently in the first violin section.</p>

<p>I played on the badminton team last year and plan to continue. I am also on the frisbee team, which is relatively new...</p>

<p>I've done Tang Soo Do karate for over ten years (yes) and I am a black belt who trains three times a week year round and teaches once a week year round. I have competed in over a dozen multi state and international championships.</p>

<p>I write for a hobby and have participated in NaNoWriMo (22k words) and have won Script Frenzy (101 and 104 pages) two consecutive years.</p>

<p>I am currently enrolled in Tomorrow's Leaders Today, a year-long leadership program which teaches about the community and its various work fields.</p>

<p>I am in the Math Club, CSF, NHS, and Frisbee Club.</p>

<p>Next year I plan to take:</p>

<p>AP Lit
AP Gov/Econ
AP Physics
AP Stat
AP Calc
Orchestra</p>

<p>If there's anything else I need to mention here that I forgot, please mention it...</p>

<p>Your EC’s are excellent and you’re a URM; those are both going well for you. Your grades are strong, but don’t let up on the gas; junior year is critical. I would strongly recommend buying the College Board Blue Book to practice for the SAT; it’s a tremendous help, and the earlier one starts, the better. Stanford’s a crapshoot for anyone, though I am unfamiliar with their legacy policy; Pomona is tough, but keep up your grades, rock your tests and expand your ECs into service-oriented areas and you’ll improve your chances; everything else looks pretty good. You seem like a great student. Junior year is tough, but just keep your nose to the grind.</p>
