<p>My projected senior load is heavy, but it all depends on if the classes are compatible. I plan on taking AP Biology, AP Spanish, and AP Calculus, along with some normal courses and electives.</p>
<p>(I have taken every AP and Honors course offered by my school so far, with the exception of Physics Honors in Junior Year)</p>
<p>Class Rank: My school does not have this system</p>

<p>Clubs:</p>

Member of: Math Club
Volunteered an entire week at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park</p>
<p>Junior -
Co-head of a club raising money to support education in Cambodia, Member of Kids Helping Kids (volunteering at the Homeless shelter weekly), and I might join a club that volunteers at animal shelters</p>
<p>My Community Service so far is 100+ hours.. but I plan to rapidly increase that number this year, through the volunteer clubs I mentioned above, and through volunteerwork at a local hospital as an intern. (I plan on going into the medical field so this also might help) </p>
<p>I have also participated in many races around the island that benefit charity, such as Run for the Whales, in which I placed 1st, in 2012. </p>
<p>I am proficient in: English, Spanish, and Italian.
I have basic knowledge in: Japanese, Croatian, and Portuguese</p>
<p>Testing -</p>
<p>I have not taken the SAT nor the ACT yet...
What should I aim for? The practice tests suggest I will fall within the 2000+ range for the SAT. but again, you can never be sure until you actually take it.</p>
<p>So based on what you've seen so far - do you believe I have a standing chance for UCLA or Tufts? If not, how can I improve? thanks!</p>
