i still need to take Lit and History. i am guessing 600s for them.</p>

i received a three on AP Euro.</p>

<p>oh yes. right now [this will go up because school is not over yet] my overall weighted [non uc] is 4.4
overall college weighted is 4.57 </p>

<p>is that it? </p>

<p>Well, you have great grades but mediocre test scores. Opposite of me, I have bad grades (laziness) and excellent test scores for SAT and SAT II's. Also, I will be doing research at faculty level at Rutgers department of Physics, since I want to major in physcis. IF you have a lot of experiecne in high school relating to your major, thats a major major plus. Also, keep up your leadership/extracurricular activities.
From experience, I know people who've gone to MIT, Berkely, U of Chicago, with your stats to say the best. It all depends on how you show your self. I think you have a great chance at the UC's, but do think about taking the SAT's again if you can. I'm thinking about school's like USC, Berkely, and Caltech, and for USC you will be good from 1800 +, but by all means take them again. Rest looks fine, best of luck!</p>

<p>cool! thanks</p>

<p>but isn't 4 SATS a bit excessive?</p>

<p>and does anyone know where i can find things to do over the summer that relates to my major.</p>

<p>the only thing is taking a psych class over the summer. at UCI. and then again at my actual school</p>

<p>yea, 4 would be too much. But think about it in terms of profit. Would you lose your chances otherwise? Simply, if you think you can dramatically improve your score, like 2000+, then go for it! If not, stick to the status quo.<br>
You should be fine. My biggest downfall are my grades. They're very bad, yet my test scores are over the roof and I lead my tennis team. But we both have fairly the same chance at UC's since you have what i dont have and I ahve what you dont have </p>

<p>Take it easy</p>

<p>anyone else have opinions? pleaaase</p>
