<p>I am going to be a senior this fall. Let me tell you a little about myself:
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: White
Financial: lower middle class
State Resident: Arizona
Intended Major: Biology </p>

<p>Academics:
Class Rank: 1 out of 41
GPA unweighted- 4.0
GPA weighted- 4.3
My school doesn't offer honors, AP, or IB classes.
My weighted GPA is higher because I take courses at my local community college. By the time I graduate high school, I'll have my associates in the arts. I hope this makes up for my lack of honors/AP classes. (I'm in the honors program at the community college)
My college GPA is 4.0</p>

<p>Extracurricular activities:
Sudent Council- Junior-VP, Senior- Pres
NHS- Junior- Secretary
Student ambassadors- Sophmore- Secretary, Senior- VP
GSA (Gay, Straight Alliance)- Junior-treasurer
I started Enviromental Club at my school Junior year.</p>

<p>Standardized Tests:
ACT- 26- including writing (I'm retaking it in September-aiming for a 28)</p>

<p>Volunteer Work:
I've volunteered at a camp for the disabled every summer since I was 12.
I spend the school year volunteering at the hospital.</p>

<p>I want to go to UCSB, Penn State or Boston University. What are my chances?</p>

<p>You are in all if you can get the 28
Can you afford PSU? It gives terrible aid. UCSB will also be expensive OOS. BU should give good need based

<p>You may want to check on that Associate of arts degree if some schools will view you as a transfer student.
UCSB will be expensive since you won’t receive financial aid from California.</p>
