Chances UCLA/Umich

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Here are my top choices:
1) UMich
2) UCLA
I haven't decided the others yet, but I think will be around those with the same standards.</p>

<p>I'm in Michigan (In Ann Arbor), Indian (East)
Ok, so here is the deal. I just started my junior year. And this what has gone down so far:</p>

<p>My grades (sophomore):
3.7 W/ 3.4 UW(core classes, no grade boosts)
I took all the hardest classes possible except no "English Intensive"</p>

<p>Now my junior year:</p>

<p>Schedule, and grade:
Spanish 4AC (A)
Chemistry AP (A)
Math Analysis AP (Precalc) (B)
English AP (A)
Symphony Orchestra (A?)
History AP (B)</p>

<p>ECs:
Spanish Honorary Society
Active member of Indian Club
Have a job at UofM as lab assistant
Private Violin/Symphony Orchestra (ranked #1 HS music prog in country)
NHS?- I was sent an invite but I am a bit worried that I might not get in due to lack of prior community service...</p>

<p>SAT (Anticipated): 2100 (I got 2090 on the last practice test)</p>

<p>The question(s): How important are community service/volunteer hours? I don't really have any! Would joining Key Club help? Does service count when it is from other clubs? How much would losing out on NHS hurt, if I get rejected b/c of previous lack of community service?
Also: I don't have any awards?</p>

<p>Anything advice? Thank you very much. Umich is my first choice.</p>

<p>Umich you have a shot at the GPA is a bit low, the ECs aren't great except for the lab (you should probably stress that) SAT is just right. UCLA, not so much. It's really hard out of state. I'm not saying you shouldn't apply, but I want to apply there and I personally dont think my 3.5 GPA, 2260 SAT, etc are going to get me in.</p>

<p>Get your GPA to a 4.0 in your junior year. You'll need it. UM weighs GPA more then anything in my honest opinion. Your SAT/ACT score is fine. If you can get your UM GPA up to a 3.7 or 3.6 UM will be a match.</p>

<p>Actually, I would like to edit that...3.4 was my "Umich GPA", which= only core classes with only solid letter grades taken; ie B+=3.0, and no grade boosts. And how about UCSD?</p>
