Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello I'm a soon to be junior, and I messed up horribly my sophomore year in the IB program I was wondering if my chance at the the following colleges are unrealistic?
UCLA
USC
Carnegie Mellon
NYU
UCI</p>

<p>My Gpa freshman year un-weighted both semesters were 4.0 with 25 hours of comm service
1st semester sophomore year g.pa. was 3.0
Alg 2 hnrs/myp- C+
Chemistry hnrs/myp- A
World History A.P- B
Language Arts MYP- B
Spanish 3- C
Waterpolo/P.E- A(of course)</p>

<p>2nd Semester g.p.a un weighted 3.5
Math alg 2 myp- C+(79.6!!!)
Chemistry myp-A
WHAP-A
Language Arts myp
Spanish 3-C
Track-A</p>

<p>Also this year I did do a personal project which took up 6 months of the school year at the same time, a 3ftx4ft painting of Van Goh's Starry Night. Also 30 hours of community service.</p>

<p>Junior Year I plan on :
-taking The SAT with a target goal 2300 (2000 on practice test)
-actively participating in 4 clubs which include JSA,Art Club, School Newspaper, and MESA(engineering club)
-continuing the I.B Diploma program
-competing in statewide architectural drafting competitions
-4 A.P classes
-Water polo again
-Track again
-Classes: Precal hnrs, IB lang, AP US History, A.P Spanish, IB Art & Design, Phsyics 1 hnrs,
keeping straight A's no matter what in these classes</p>

<p>Will my junior year be astounding enough for colleges to overlook my sophomore year? And am I even aiming at the right colleges? I'm planning on majoring in Informatics or Information Technology or even Architecture.</p>

<p>I think NYU and UCI are very obtainable but the rest are all reaches</p>

<p>Work hard in your junior and senior year to show an upward trend in GPA and reach your target score. Then you will be fine for most of these schools.</p>

<p>Am I screwing myself over by pursuing an architectural major? I don’t want to end up unemployed lol</p>

<p>If you’re not good in Math, majoring in Architecture will be difficult for you. Aside from being in a very competitive field, it is a difficult major also. BUT if you are passionate, committed and dedicated, you will succeed. Be realistic, but u never know if you don’t apply.</p>

<p>Too early to estimate. You’re doing pretty well so far, but how well you do junior year could easily make all of the difference, especially when considering sat scores and the like.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
