<p>Personal Statement (For the UC's):
1) I wrote about how I come from a family who put little emphasis on education and how my parents were the first people who actually tried to study, but could not do so in light of the Vietnam War. I told of the struggles that were put on to me while trying all so desperately to pass AP Classes, the SAT, and the subject tests: I had no back support. With little income and no father to support, I concluded with a strong emphasis on the will and desire to overcome these obstacles.
2) I wrote about how my personal will and motivation to win, brought the JV team of my school to a near perfect win streak. I was the most talented and most influential in terms of skill and decisions, respectively. I don't believe in the word "Captain." its thrown around too easily. I want to become a legend, but you can't win alone. You need your team and thus so, I wrote about how I dedicated myself to share the skills and knowledge of my craft.</p>

<p>In the Summer, I plan to take:
Intro to Computer Science
Intro to Java Programming
Art History</p>

<p>and possibly a paid internship at a bank. Sorry for the excruciatingly long post. Thanks so much in advance!</p>

<p>You’re gonna get accepted with that SAT score & those ECs. Don’t worry about it :slight_smile: just keep your grades up throughout senior year & you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Thanks! Bump!</p>

<p>Your PS statements sound cliche; that will hurt you but I can’t say by how much. </p>

<p>I see you have mentioned all California schools and an interest in economics. Have you considered applying to Claremont McKenna? A great school for econ and they give good aid.</p>

<p>It is hard to say about your essays without seeing the actual piece. I think the second one sounds cliche from your summary. Your first one could have a lot of potential. I suggest you find a wise adult to read over them. Good luck to you!</p>

<p>You should be able to get in most of your schools on the list. It seems that u r interested in economics. I agree with Picapole - why not try some LACs in California? They offer really decent economics curriculum?</p>
