How do I impress UC?

<p>I know there’s really no specific GPA or SAT score to get into a UC, but what’s a good enough GPA and SAT score to let them know that someone’s capable of succeeding in one of the campuses (specifically UCB, UCLA, UCSB and UCSC)? </p>

<p>Also, I just moved here last July 2009 from the Philippines. We didn’t have honors and AP classes, and we didn’t really have school clubs back there. I only have one year left (senior year) to impress. What should I do?</p>
