Chances for UCLA/UCSD/UCB/UCI

Applying to College
1

<p>I will be a junior next year and have already taken my SAT. I took all honors and AP classes my freshman and sophomore year except in my 2nd semester sophomore year I dropped from Pre Calc Honors to regular Pre Calc (math is not my strong suit). My overall GPA so far is 4.54 (weighted) or 3.87 unweighted. My SAT score is a 2270. </p>

<p>SAT II Chem: 800
SAT II World History: TBD (almost certainly 780-800)
SAT II Math Level 2: TBD (almost certainly 780-800)</p>

<p>My main problem is extracurriculars. I am a third degree black belt in Taekwondo and have been taking it since I was 6. I regularly volunteer there and teach the little kids. I also volunteer regularly at a senior citizen home. I got on JV track and field but couldn't do it because I couldn't stay after school (I live far away from my school). However next year I will be able to join it. I am in the Taekwondo club at school and plan to be in a leadership position by senior year. Same with Best Buddies, a club that pairs students up with a mentally handicapped kid to hang out with them. I am in CSF and have been on the Principal's Honor Roll every semester so far. I am interning at Boeing the summer after my junior year for a tech program that my school has.</p>

<p>I live in Cali and really want to attend one of the schools above. Please give me my chances so far. Thanks.</p>

<p>P.S. I am half white half Korean.</p>

<p>So far, you seem to have a pretty good chance of getting into those schools. Your SATs seem really good, and your ECs should be good enough for a UC. Just keep up the good work.</p>

<p>Thanks man. I am just worried that I don’t have enough EC’s because I see lots of people posting huuuuuge lists of leadership positions and awards they’ve won.</p>

<p>Anyone else? BTW I’m also organizing a donation group with some friends that gets school supplies and donates them to schools in need. (Lots of schools are very ghetto where I live).</p>
