<p>I'm still in my junior year of high school so it's not complete, but I'd just like to get an idea of my chances to getting to a mid tier UC (Davis, Irvine, etc) or CSU (such as Cal Poly SLO).</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA (9-11): 4.00
Weighted GPA (9-11): 4.17
Rank 9/467 at my high school.</p>
<p>I've taken English 9 Honors, English 10 Honors, and AP US History so far and received As in them. I plan to take AP Government, AP Economics, AP Chemistry, and AP Psychology my senior year of high school.</p>
<p>I took the PSAT this fall and received a 153. (I know it's not impressive :/)
I'm planning on taking the SAT this spring and aiming for at least a 1700. I'll take the SAT subject test and ACT my senior year.</p>
<p>I've volunteered in a variety of events and have over 40 hours of community service. Going to play badminton for my four years in high school. Last year (sophomore year) I was 4th place in the league tournament, 2nd as a team.</p>
<p>Any opinions would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Why do you think you would not be admitted to these schools? What is your major?</p>
<p>Have you checked out the forums for each of these schools and asked your question?</p>
<p>A GPA of 4.0 or above is most certainly going to get you into a good UC.</p>
<p>Bring your SAT up and you’re sure to get in all of those. You’re pretty much guaranteed a spot in a UC due to your rank (top 9% of California students are guaranteed a spot in a UC).</p>
<p>I was just worried that maybe I’m taking the ‘easy’ way out rather than taking more rigorous classes. My math skills aren’t very sharp either; I’m getting As but I’m only taking Algebra II right now.</p>
<p>And no, I haven’t done that yet, but I certainly will later. Thank you for the reassurance!</p>
<p>It depends on your major, but make sure you take 4 years of math and, again, you’re pretty much in. If you want to major in engineering/math/physics, something like that, then yeah your Algebra II is going to severely hurt your chances. Anything in the liberal arts and humanities though, and I’d say your fine. Just make sure you take 4 years of math!</p>
<p>Yeah, I was planning on taking pre-calculus next year. I was thinking of food science or microbiology as my major. I’m also interested in optical science and engineering but I haven’t really done research on it yet. Anyways, thanks for your help! :D</p>
