<p>My grades were not that great over all. I have about a 3.1 uw and a 4.1 w and I am ranked 72 out of 451. (This should come up a little because a teacher gave me a C for an unknown reason and corrected it to an A.)</p>

<p>SAT II

<p>I am a devoted member of my school newspaper
Sophomore year- staff writer
Junior- World News Editor
Senior- Formatter and Campus and Community News Editor</p>

<p>I worked hard for the Campus Community Section because it is the largest section in our paper.</p>

<p>Mock trial 11, 12 Captain this year</p>

<p>Mythology Club 11, 12 and Treasurer this year.</p>

<p>This year I am founding a Fashion Club which will produce a magazine.</p>

<p>I have some community service but only about 20 hours, and I do not really have anything amazing. </p>

<p>I want to major in anthropology and then either specialize or minor in archeology (classical). I do not know which schools I can get into, or even which are a good idea for me. I just wish I had better grades before. My grades are not really in any sort of trend, but my sophomore year is by far the worst.</p>

<p>Any Advice is needed! Thanks! </p>

<p>I have posted this elsewhere but I thought I'd try here too.. </p>

<p>UCI
UCSB
UCSC
UofA
ASU
U of Wahington
U of Oregon
U of Texas
U Boston
Rhodes</p>

<p>Do I have a good chance? I am not certain that all of them have Classical, which is what I want to do. Also, I HATE driving, hate it hate it, does anyone know if that would be bad at any of these schools? UCI worries me for that reason... but I am not certain. I am pretty certain I will to anthropology, and I would like to go on to grad school so I need to insure whichever school I choose will help get me into a great grad school since I intend to work alot harder in college than I did in high school. </p>

<p>Any other schools you suggest?</p>

<p>You will get into ASU.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Thank you, does anyone know about any of the others?</p>

<p>Bump please chance me</p>

<p>Texas should be easy. I live in Dallas and they admit people who are ranked like 697/747(really!). I don’t know how that works for out of staters tho.</p>

<p>Chance me plz: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/784996-updated-list-same-kid-promise-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/784996-updated-list-same-kid-promise-ill-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I would also apply to Boston College, UCLA, and UC Berkeley as reaches.</p>

<p>OKay thank you</p>

<p>Is there anything else I should do to help my chances</p>

<p>I’ll second that Texas is a match for you.</p>

<p>How much of a reach is bc</p>

<p>ignoring the major im interested in any other schools to suggest?</p>
