<p>UCSC is by far my first choice, but I am really worried about getting in. I think my essays were strong, but my gpa is kinda lacking. </p>
<p>UC GPA : 3.55 (top 40%)
SAT : 2000 - 640 CR 670 M 690 W
ACT : 30
Going to have finished 8 AP classes by the end of high school, statewide leadership positions in a model state government, President of clubs at school.
Chances?</p>
