Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm a high school senior applying to some of the UC's .</p>

<p>-UC GPA: 4.05
Over 40 a-g classes</p>

<p>-4 AP classes:
APUSH-3
Calc AB/Bio/Chem: In progress</p>

<p>-Class Rank:11/145</p>

<p>-SAT: 1900 (CR: 680 Math: 600 Writing: 620)
-ACT: 27 Composite</p>

<p>-SAT Subjects:
Math 2: 680 (retaking next week but I don't think I'll do better)
Biology:620 (Also retaking, expecting significant increase)</p>

<p>-ECs - these are really weak because of a family situation that will be discussed in an essay.
Basketball 4 years
Key Club 4 years</p>

<p>Community Service: Over 300 hours, mostly in church-sponsored and church-related events</p>

<p>My essays will describe my father's battle with mental illness and his later death in my Junior year. </p>

<p>Note: For UCSD, I found a spreadsheet somewhere on this site and I calculated my points to 7910. If someone would like to double check that number, it would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance, honest input is appreciated.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are going to drag you down as well as your ECs.</p>

<p>UCLA, UCB are reaches. </p>

<p>UCSD, if you have 7910, then your fine for that. Others are matches/low reaches.</p>

<p>However, if you play the illness and death card right, you might just get in! Chance me too?</p>
