<p>Hi, I'm Jessy, and I'll be a senior as of monday.
I rank 7th (if not higher) in my class of 585 students at my school in Southern California.
My UC GPA is 4.2
Weighted is 4.55 (I thought this was lower but this is what my councelor told me)
and Unweighted is 3.91</p>

<p>I've gotten a single B between the two semesters each year, so straight A's one semester and one B the other. It kills me. Lol.</p>

<p>I've taken the following AP classes
AP Biology (5)
AP World History (4)
AP US History (5)
AP English Language (4)
AP French Language (teacher was bad so I skipped the test)
and I'm taking AP Calc AB, AP Gov, and AP Art History next year.</p>

<p>I've also taken a handful of honors and accelerated classes.</p>

<p>I'm a four-year varsity track and field runner,
and played tennis last year (JV), and will probably play varsity this year.</p>

<p>I have 109 community service hours consisting of :
75 hours campaigning for the Democratic party my freshman year
a handful from coaching track and field for the Special Olympic atheletes
and the rest from taking care of autistic classes during parent/teacher trainings at a nearby elementary school. Plan on doing more of that</p>

<p>Not big on clubs, although I should be...only one year of Interact Club freshman year. </p>

<p>My SAT scores aren't so high, but I'm retaking them come fall
1830 (590 math, 590 reading, 650 writing, 11 essay)
600 Math 2, 630 Biology subjects.
ACT: 29
And, I think that's it.
Also, how is the biology program at UCSB? I know their marine biology is pretty strong, but I'm also looking at other UC schools for biology :)
Thanks !</p>

<p>I think you are match for SB, you have a very high GPA. With higher SAT scores, you can make a case for SD and Davis. Just bring those up and you will be fine. </p>

<p>Very good GPA, good EC/community, and pretty decent SATs. You’ve got a very high shot at getting in. Since you’re rank 7/500+/ELC-depending on your classes and UC evaluation, I’d say you have approximately 98% ish of getting in :wink: Just do well on your essays and get a 1900+ SATs and I’d call it safe.</p>

<p>Lol.
I’m not really a political person, I just did it because it was an opportunity that got me alot of hours that I could maintain with schoolwork and a sport.
But thanks :)!
I’m definitely really liking the looks of UCSB, UCLA, and UCSC right now !</p>
