<p>Hello. I am a rising senior currently going to a California Distinguished School. I am also pursuing a IB diploma. I am Indian and want to be a neurosurgeon, which would be Health Science Major, I think. So Please Chance me for all UC's and if possible, then University of Michigan.
Cumulative GPA Weighted-4.05
UW-3.717
10-12 GPA Weighted-4.259
UW-3.77
UC Weighted GPA-4.07
UW-3.81</p>
<p>SAT-2150 M-750 CR-700 W-700
SAT II- Biology-750 Chemistry-750 (Assumptions)</p>
<p>AP and IB exams are all 4 and 5 except World History was a 3.</p>
<p>I don't which extracurriculars to use for you guys to chance me, so Im putting most of them.</p>
<p>Exc's- I helped a poor village in India during summer time and have letters from doctors over there who worked in the hospitals.</p>
<p>Clubs:
Treasurer for poetry club- 2yrs
CSF member- 2 yrs
Mecha club-4 yrs
Future Doctors of America-2 yrs.
National Honor Society- For IB 2 yrs. (After I moved to my new school in Junior year)
Local County Art Awards in Freshman Year.( 3 first places, 2 second places, 1 fourth place).
Volunteered from 10th grade in summer in a Virginia Hospital. (Will Continue some more Volunteering for IB CAS Hours).</p>
<p>I do not have a lot of extracurriculars or volunteering.</p>
<p>I had to move at the beginning of junior year but continued with IB, so i don't know how this will affect my chances. I prize my exc's on the art awards.</p>
<p>My letters might include having to move almost 5 times and this brought my grade down in freshman year. I moved at the beginning of my junior year too. My uncle also died in sophomore year and he raised me in my childhood before I had moved to U.S. The stress of constantly moving and making new friends held me back, but I have not gotten a C ever. I believe the personal statement, Letters of Recommendation and Essays will be good. I believe IB is loved by the UC's too. So, Please Chance me for all UC's since I only want to get into any UC or University of Michigan. I am in-state and have gone to all the best public schools in my area and my family has $250,000 income too. I also took all the hardest courses with 2 sciences in one year. Thank You and I will chance back to the best of my knowledge.</p>
<p>Cal, LA - high matches to low reach
SD - low match
all others - safeties</p>
<p>UC Berk- low reach b/c of EC’s and then test score is a little low on top of that being Asian
UCLA- High Match/Match EC’s mainly the problem here
UCSD- Match
All other EC’s are safeties</p>
<p>UMich- I’d say you’re a Match here. EC’s might hurt you because all state schools look hard on EC’s because of the abundance of applicants and you’re OOS</p>
<p>chance me back bud!

<p>My execs are for 2 yrs at a time because I moved in junior year. I did some clubs at both schools. I also signed up as an American heart association member volunteer but never got to go help anywhere so I dont think I can use that. Would I at least make Davis?</p>
<p>Bump!!! Anyone else have opinions? Is neuroscience doable with my stats at the ucs? Should I go in as undecided an then transfer? I’m not sure if I’m good especially with my majors.</p>
<p>well, the thing is that is it getting more competitive and less likely that u will be able to transfer if u do get in. Ur stats look pretty good, sat looks qualified even if a little on the low side… but I think the fact htat u helped out in another third world country is pretty cool, and im indian too=) youd prob. make it to everything except cal, and la which may be high match/reach. chance me back=) “UC Chances Por Favor”</p>
<p>And my final question is that since I’m trying to go to a med school after college, does it matter how I did in high school? Also would there be a difference when I apply to med school if I went to a high rated college such as uc la vs uc irvine but got the same gpa and everything else? Does the school itself matter when I apply to med school? I think I will at least definitely make irvine or above so would going to a " less prestigious" school alter my chances for med school?</p>
<p>I would say that UCLA and UCB are both high matches, obviously Berkeley being a bit higher than LA but I think you’ve got a decent shot at both, especially if you rock your essays and your teachers rock your recommendations. San Diego is a low match to match, I don’t think you’ll have too much of a problem getting in there. All of the others you should get in. I don’t think high school matters for med school, and yeah it does look better if you go to a “better” UC but all of the UC’s are at least well respected as far as I know.
