<p>I know my stats aren't quite outstanding. Of the colleges I've listed, I probably only have a sure shot to San Jose State, though I would like to hear your opinions. What are my chances (if any) of getting into the listed UCs? Also, considering my stats, which other colleges/safeties (within California) would you suggest that I apply to? I plan to major in biology/pharmacy.</p>

<p>haha you look like me. but i dont know, what about AP scores your grades in the college classes? well i cant help you any cause i cant figure out where im getting into either. but just letting you know, you arent in that boat alone.</p>

<p>I just checked your thread and your stats appear to be way better than mine, although I do not plan on attending any of the top 3 UCs (doubtful I'd get in with my beyond terrible SAT scores and not so great ECs). Best of luck to you, though!</p>

<p>EDIT: Forgot to list my grades:</p>

<p>(Note: My college classes each last 1 semester, and each semester is equivalent to 1 whole year in high school) </p>

<p>Classes:
9th
-English 1 : A
-Geometry : A-
-Integrated Science : A+
10th
-English 2 : B+
-Spanish : A-
-Algebra 2 : A
-Biology : A
-World History : A
11th
-English 3 : A
-US History : A
-Spanish 1A/1B (college) : A/B
-Piano (college) : A
-Critical Reasoning (college) : B+

12th
-English 4
-Economics/Government
-Chemistry (college)
-Pre-Calc (college)
-English 1A (college)

Let's just say I get A's in all my courses (high school and college) with maybe 1 B. Will that heighten my chances in any way? I heard UC admissions don't take into account your senior year grades that much...</p>

<p>Also forgot to add that I was raised by a single parent (mom). Not sure if that really has any affect on admissions though...</p>

<p>PLEASE give me some more feedback!! Thinking of applying to USC as well..</p>
