<p>I'll give a little bit of background:</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.57 (bad sophomore year but nothing lower than B-, much better junior year)
UC GPA: 4.17
ACT: 35
SAT IIs: Math 2 - 800, Bio - 740, USH - 760</p>
<p>Senior courseload: AP Psych, AP Bio, AP Lit, AP Physics E&M, AP Stat - come from a pretty rigorous private high school (not sure if this hurts or helps haha)
Job experience: Paid internship with NetApp (large Silicon Valley company)
Extracurriculars: Newspaper (4 years - expecting to be editor this year), track and field (4 years), eBay Young Entrepreneur Program (1 year - CFO of our "company", were 2nd in sales among other teams in the region), Stanford ALS Youth Leadership Conference (not sure where to put this...). Also, I am waiting on San Jose Mercury News Teen Board decision, I had a strong application so if I get in this will be on there as well.
Volunteering: Environmental stuff at Olema, CA (25 hours), Computer lab monitor at InnVision (25 hours), service trip to China (25 hours)</p>
<p>Yeah I know my GPA sucks (especially since I want to go into BM engineering), and I don't have amazing ECs or a lot of leadership, but I have a pretty solid and personal essay in the works. I'm also planning to maintain a high GPA this first semester of senior year; at least it helps for privates, and I could use it to appeal a rejection from UCs maybe....</p>
<p>So what are the chances...</p>
