<p>-California resident, asian male, first generation college student, low-income, from horrible public highschool.</p>

<p>-Classes: mainly, I try to take the hardest classes, though my school only offers a few APs. 4 years of French, 4 years of English, 4 math etc.</p>

<p>-AP classes: US History, English language, Eng lit this year, Calc this year, and maybe environmental.</p>

<p>-AP test scores: 3 on US hist, and 3 on Eng lang.</p>

<p>-Honors: Chemistry, (1 semester for the following [time in DC paging] --->)Government, Physics, Anatomy, Precalc.</p>

<p>ECs: -Spring semester of my junior year in Washington DC in the congressional page program working on Capitol Hill on the House floor: Jan-June, 2006. (Pretty prestigious/competitive program on the federal level, sponsored by congressman)
-Two three week sessions during the summer in DC continuing my internship: June-Aug. Same program as above, but sponsored twice more by congressman in new sessions with selection process.<br>
-Piano: California Certificate of Merit: levels 6 through Advanced, plus music theory exams, passed with honors.
-Orchestra for my junior year of highschool.
-Karate advanced brown belt, started 6th grade to junior year.</p>

<p>-GPA: unweighted 3.85
weighted 4.2</p>

<p>Rank 11 out of 419</p>

<p>-SAT I: 1880 but retaking to get at least 2000.</p>

<p>SAT II: retaking lol</p>

<p>so what are my chances at UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara.</p>

<p>What about any of the ivies...just on a whim? :) What about other top east coast schools like Georgetown (which i rlly am interested in since i spent 6 months in Washington DC during my internship.)</p>

<p>Yea, I know my stats etc aren't that great compared to everyone else here.</p>

<p>BTW, what do u think are my strongest points? demographics? the internship? grades? ( i know not test scores haha).</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: slight reach with higher test scores. Raise your test scores.</p>

4

<p>look at george washington university</p>

5

<p>Why did you have to spell it skooooooooo?</p>

6

<p>Sorry, but realistically, your SAT scores are not anywhere near strong enough for the Ivies or for Georgetown. If you really need to go to school in DC, check out GW, as Derek suggested above.</p>

<p>A 2000 won't put you in range for ivies.</p>

<p>Raise test scores. It can't be too horrible a school if 3.85 GPA earns you rank 11. Really horrible schools make valedictorians with your GPA.</p>
