<p>hello all!</p>
<p>I am currently a high school SOPHOMORE. I was wondering where I could improve so I have a standing chance of getting into UC Berkeley or UC Davis. The end of the first semester of sophomore year is near and my GPA is a 3.86. That gpa has lowered my self esteem. =/
Here is what I am taking this year.</p>
<p>-----Courses-----------------------------
Algebra II/Trig
English II- Pre-Honors
Spanish II
Orchestra (I’ve been doing it since 5th grade)

GPA: 3.86. (grr)</p>
<p>SAT: Haven’t taken it yet</p>
<p>Class Rank: As of freshman year: 54/594. (OUCH!)</p>
<p>------Extracurricular Activities-------------

<li><p>Volunteer at hospital ( 200+ hours)</p></li>

</ol>
<p>----------Expected course load for junior year----------------------

<h2>Orchestra</h2>
<p>I am also doing the Princeton Review over the summer to get a great SAT score to compensate for my HORRIBLE GPA. Where did I mess up? What can I do to improve?</p>
<p>If you reply to this; ill chance you.</p>
