Chances of getting in?

Hello! I am a junior. I expect to have 3 B’s this semester. Weighted, my GPA has always been over a 4.0. I have not yet taken the SAT or ACT. I also plan on taking Subject Tests for Chemistry, Math level 1, Biology E, and French.

GPA history (APPROXIMATELY!):
Freshman Semester 1: W:4.0 UW: 3.8
Freshman Semester 2: W:4.1 UW: 4.0
Sophomore Semester 1: W: 4.6 UW: 4.0
Sophomore Semester 2: W: 4. 3 UW: 3.8
Junior Semester 1: W: 4.1 UW: 3.28

As for Extra Curricular… I am an athlete. I compete both nationally and internationally for the US. I compete in youth and Pro-division. Unfortunately, it is not a college sport.

Do you think I could get in even though I have had a tough first semester of Junior year?

What level schools in general could I get into?

Below is the Freshman profile for 2014. Until you have SAT/ACT scores, it is difficult to give you an idea of your chances. Your GPA looks on target, but you may want to address your Junior GPA (if it continues to decline) in one of the UC essays next year when you apply. Keep up your EC’s and look for a leadership position to help boost your application. At the end of your Junior year, calculate your UC GPA: http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/ and see how you compare.

Good Luck.

Your grades look great so-far but, without a test score it is tough to give you a solid read. 1900+ on the SAT and yo are in. IMHO.
