<p>Hey guys, I'm a high school senior and I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on my chances of getting into UC Berkeley College of Letters and Science. (Also, my chances at UCLA. If all else fails I'm going to UC Davis because I am sure that I can get in there, and it's a nice school)</p>
<p>Sophomore year:
English 3-4: A
Spanish III: A
Social Psychology (Semester): A
(Free period for a semester)
Algebra II: A
Modern World History: A
Integrated Science II: A
Dance I: A</p>
<p>(I took Beginning chemistry at a community college the summer before my junior year, and received an A)</p>
<p>Junior year:
AP Biology: A
Math Analysis (Precalc): A
English 5-6: A
P.E. Dance: A
U.S. History: A
Spanish IV: A
(One free period for a year)</p>
<p>Senior Year: (Courses, I don't think the grades count)
AP Spanish
AP English (literature, I believe)
AP Calculus AB
Economics (Semester)
Law and Society (Semester)
Honors Physics</p>
<p>Thus my gpa is somewhere around 4.24 for UCs.
Unweighted: 4.0.</p>
<p>I attend a rather prestigious public school.</p>
<p>I took the SAT once and received a 2200
-Breakdown-
Math: 780
Reading: 730
Writing: 690 (ehh...)</p>
<p>SAT IIs taken once:
Biology M: 800
Math II: 670 (ouch)</p>
<p>I also took the AP Biology Test and received a score of 5</p>
<p>My extracurriculars:
I've done Tae Kwon Do for the past 5 or 6 years and have a blackbelt, and have taught martial arts (as a job i.e. i get paid) for about a year.
I was in Key Club since my freshmen year and was Treasurer my sophomore year and President my junior year.
I think I have like 150-200 hours of community service I can't remember very well.
I was in the breakdance club since my freshmen year.
I am a member of the California Scholarship Federation and am one semester away from becoming a lifetime member. (So I guess i've been in it since my sophomore year)
I was on my city's swim team my freshmen year for about a year.
I was on my school's cross country team for a semester sophomore year (junior varsity).
I've played guitar for the last two years, and have excelled at the instrument.
I can solve a rubik's cube in a little over a minute, haha... I don't think that fits on my application. </p>
<p>I was born in the U.S. and am full Vietnamese, but I don't think race or ethnicity are considered in applications. I do, however, live in state (CALIFORNIA) which gives me a significant advantage over out of state applicants.</p>
<p>I plan to be a doctor and want to major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UCB. (I don't believe that this is an impacted major, but correct me if I am wrong)</p>
<p>I haven't written my essays yet but I think my main one will be about my passionate desire to become a doctor. </p>
<p>Thanks very much for your opinions/advice. I greatly appreciate it.</p>
