<p>Hello, I just finished junior year and was curious about my chances. I am Iranian. I got a 3.5 both semesters sophmore year. I took two AP classes sophmore year, AP bio and world. First semester of sophmore year i got three b's one c and second semester i got four b's. This year i got a 4.33 both semesters. However this year i took five weighted courses. I took AP Psychology and english language and honors pre calc, us history and chemistry. Only one non weighted course that was for a four year program i am in. This creates my 10-12 cumulative a 3.92. I want to get into UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UC berkeley and maybe USC. What should i be aiming for on my SAT to get into these top tier schools to major in for biology. I played track and crosscountry freshman and sophmore year. And lacrosse for two years. I don't have any volunteering hours yet or in any clubs really. I am in a programm this year to help me write college essays and i can write about how i am a twin supported by only my mother, since my father passed away. Any tips will be appreciated? Or what SAT score i should get for my selection of schools. I feel like i need a 2000 for most of my schools to get in? Thank you for taking your time to read this</p>
<p>First calculate your CSU/UC GPA using this link: <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
A UC GPA of 4.0+ increases your chances. An SAT of at least 2000+ will definitely help. No volunteer hours will hurt so try and get some hours this summer. Essays will play an important role especially for USC/UCSB/UCB since they are the most holistic of the schools listed. You will need to add 2 more safety schools to your list since you have mostly High Matches/Reaches. I would add UCSC,UCI and/or maybe the Cal Polys. You did not mention your intended Major which will affect your chances. Good Luck</p>
