<p>Hey my names Caleb, I am a male from L.A. and I am mostly aimed toward UCSB and UC Santa Cruz. Please tell how my chances look. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA: 3.53
Unweighted GPA: 3.44</p>
<p>SAT: I havent taken them yet, but I think I will do fairly well. I have taken a PSAT and scored a 1710 on that.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars: By the end of my high school carrer, I will have played 4 years of soccer, 3 years of football, and 1 year of track.</p>
<p>I haven't done much in terms of clubs at my school or helping out the communtiy. Does this lower my chances? If so, what kinds of things should I do.</p>
<p>UCSC, you will probably have a good chance at "match" assuming you score 1700 or above on the SAT </p>
<p>UCSB - slight reach, I'd suggest aiming for at least an 1800 (higher is always better) on the SAT for UCSB.</p>

-Dont do anything just so that you can put it on a college app, trust me it will be very transparent.
-Do things that you are passionate about. For example, it seems you like sports, maybe you should volunteer at a local Parks&Recs center. Or coach a soccer team of elemetary school kids. I have a few friends who coach, and one who is a Ref and they love it.</p>
