<p>I'm not the brightest student and my cummulitive GPA is extremely of low compared to all the other people here. its 3.242 unweighted and 3.333 unweigthed. I sort of have an excuse. I am a first generation college student so my parents didnt really have high expectations and neither did I.</p>
<p>i started out freshmen year with a : 2.8 and 3.0, mainly because I concentrated on my sports and didnt care much about school. I was on the freshman basketball team and awarded captain and MVP. I was also on the JV golf team and also awarded captain and MVP</p>
<p>then in sohpmore year I realized that everyone else was working hard to keep their academics and sports balanced to get into the college they wanted. I was convinced that I wanted to go to a decent college because my brother went to a pretty good one (Claremont). I tried to work harder in school while continue my love of sports. I took 6 classes + a sport the first semester which was kind of dumb because I was already behind in my studies. I got a 3.33 the first semester. and in the second semester I took 5 + a sport and got a 3.4. This year i got into JV basketball and was awarded captain. As for golf I got into Varsity and was awarded Most improved player, which to me doesnt mean much. I also played in the team cif qualifying round if that helps.</p>
<p>sophmore year summer I took art and got an A.</p>
<p>By junior year, I knew I had to do something about my grades. I stopped playing basketball for the school (i still play for fun of course) and concentrated more on school. I took two honors courses the first semester and got a weighted gpa of 3.6. the honors math was a bad idea, I got a C which dropped me out of the class. in the second semester, I only had one honors course and I got a 3.6 weighted. I played in the CIF individual qualifying round and got 6th but was not qualified. I also played in the team qualifying round but we also did not qualify.</p>
<p>I also needed some more EC's so I created my own club called Eyes Around the World during the beginning of junior year. We collect previously used eyeglasses from optometrists and students and ship them to those in need.</p>
<p>I am an upcoming senior now and I also got into my school's ASB (associated student body) for the position of hospitality.its just the student government.<br>
well I know that was probably a boring read for most people but can someone tell me my chances? I am also interested in a REACH school, USC. I know it's probably impossible for me to get into usc but i'm going to try anyway. I've already visited both usc and pepperdine. I plan on doing an interview with usc as soon as i finish preparing. so what are my chances? Thank you for your time.</p>
