<p>I am in my last year of high school. I am finishing in 3 years, and then applying for college next year, so I pretty much know all my grades and test scores. Lol, also keep in mind, I am not your typical CC student ;)</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.14
W GPA: 3.48
UC GPA: 3.55 (I had a significant upward trend)</p>
<p>ACT: 27
SAT II Math 2: 620
SAT II US History: 640</p>
<p>EC's: 3 years in the student senate. Member of 2 clubs. Had 3 part time jobs at different times through HS.</p>
<p>School doesn't have class ranks.</p>
<p>4 semesters of honors classes
2 semesters of AP classes
9 semesters of concurrent enrollment w/ a local CC</p>
<p>Schools I am looking at:
UCSC
UCR
UCD
UCSB
UCI
Santa Clara University
University of San Francisco
University of San Diego
University of the Pacific</p>
<p>Oh, I would love to go to UCB or UCLA, and I am sure I will apply just for that minimal chance of getting in, but I figured I am way out of range for those schools.</p>
<p>UCSC--match (their average UC GPA of admitees is 3.56, you are at 3.55)
UCR--match
UCD/UCSB/UCI--match to slight reach (your nine CC classes really help you possibly get in at one of these three schools.
Santa Clara University--match to slight reach (good school, but expensive in-state)
University of San Francisco-safe match
University of San Diego-match
University of the Pacific--safe match</p>
<p>Also, you are a slight reach at USC and UC San Diego and a match to slight reach at Pepperdine. Like I said, it's mostly because of your community college courses (I'm presuming you have at least Bs in these, or else they won't help you with the colleges I've mentioned above).</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the comments so far :) It's going better then I expected ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I did alright in the CC courses (it's really what boasted my GPA). I received 4 semesters worth of honors A's, 3 of B's, and 2 of C's (all have honors/AP level weight).</p>
<p>Oh, I also forgot to mention that I am going to apply to Cal Poly SLO and Pomona too (Electrical Engineering for both)</p>
<p>UCSC -- match
UCR -- pretty safe match
UCD -- slight reach
UCSB -- slight reach
UCI -- match
SCU -- match
USF -- safe match
USD -- match
Cal Poly SLO -- match [maybe a little reach]
Cal Poly Pomona -- match [maybe a little reach]</p>
<p>you might wanna take a look at these too:
Occidental -- reach [but they take a pretty individual stance on accepting ppl]
LMU -- match/ slight reach
San Diego State -- pretty safe match
Chapman -- safety</p>
<p>Hmm, I really want to get into UCD/UCI/UCSB or Cal Poly-SLO (electrical engineering major all schools). So on Friday I talked to my counselor about not graduating early and my schedule, if I stayed, would be:</p>
<p>AP Statistics
IB Theory of Knownledge
Honors History of Asia
Photography 1-2 (college prep)
Ceramics 1-2
AutoCad 1-2</p>
<p>How much do you guys think this will help?</p>
<p>By the end of highschool I'll have 16 Honors/College/IB/AP semesters in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade instead of 10 if I was to graduate early.</p>
<p>According to the UC's offical freshman profiles 88.0% of applicants with 15+ honors semesters completed in 10th-12th grade get into UCD, 81.6% into UCI, and 74.4% into UCSB. I don't have the statistics for Cal Poly. </p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Oh also, by the end of highschool I will have 5 years of Math, 4 of science, and 2 foreign language (maybe I'll do a third?). I hope 5 years of math helps with engineering school admissions.</p>
<p>EDIT: and yes I am a California resident :)</p>
