<p>sorry if this idea has been beaten like a dead horse, but i'm moping right now. i have a rather high GPA 3.923 UW, not too sure on how to calculate the UC GPA though. i have quite a few H and APs but it seems the UC weighting makes it very low for some reason. if counting senior year i would have taken about 10 AP classes, my school only allows 6 classes a semester</p>
<p>Sophmore 1st/2nd semester=4.166/4.166
Junior 1st/2nd semester=4.63/4.83</p>
<p>the thing is my SATs are a little lower than i would like them to be 1930 -__-
but i have some awesome EC's like interning for a congressman, 200+hours of volunteer at a hospital</p>
<p>Teaching english and distributing educational materials to rural children in China, writing two books and getting them published, and translating the works of a rather well known chinese poet and got that published too, interviewed by the two largest magazines and newspapers in China. and some other various clubs and such</p>
<p>but the thing is my SATs are really low, i just don't like those tests. are they very detrimental to my chances at a good school like UCLA or CAL or something maybe even better? i would take the test again but i just want to know. it might actually give me some piece of mind rather than making me mope all the time. i really hate the idea how a test judges everything about a person, i've done all this it would suck arse if i were to trip and fall because of a stupid test.</p>
<p>thanks for taking the time to read this. i appreciate it a lot.</p>
<p>ohh and if you couldn't tell by now, i'm asian so i also don't know if that makes this situation even worse for me. thanks again!! ^_^</p>
