<p>no way your uc gpa is that high. I think you miscalculated it. Remember only 8 semesters of AP/H classes count towards UC gpa. Your SAT subject test scores are low, but I think all your other credentials make up for that. In any case, you are</p>

<p>berkeley/ucla = match
ucsd = safe match
ucsb = uber safety
CM = match
NYU = safe match
BC = safe match
tufts = match
GW = safe match
ND = safe match</p>

<p>Don't know the chances for any ivy colleges though, you never know what can happen. </p>

<p>hmm I do hip hop + popping too. Although unlike you, I enter competitions, talent shows, dance offs, parties. How long have you been dancing?</p>

4

<p>to GPA: oh iuno dude, it says that on my transcript
for UC gpa: it says 4.60
so im like okay
but if u only count 8 semesters, then probably its gonna be capped at 4.5
and about the dancing.
At the beginning, my crew was more of popping/tutting
but we eventually evolved into breakdancing.
and we perform at places, like UCLA pledge this, chinatown chinese festival, tofu fest and we're tryin to get a spot at kollaboration
we auditioned for future shock la, got it but didnt wanna join the group cuz there were kids in there too and yeah.
been dancing since 9th grade
how about you?</p>

5

<p>uc gpa thing is bit wierd, but w.e, if that is what it says on your transcript. </p>

<p>nice, I want to breakdance as well, but its too hard for me. So I am just sticking to popping + hip hop. Been dancing dancing for about 5 years now. There are some underground parties where I live, so I usually do dance battles there with other people on stage. And I attend talent shows and competitions (like the annual korean culture festival in LA and in school). I mostly dance at dance off parties though.</p>

6

<p>I think you have a shot at Stanford too, why don't you apply there?</p>

7

<p>oh breakdance?
yeah well i was into popping/locking/tutting in freshmen year
but i saw um SICKstep and i was like damnn
so i practiced and practiced at the BBOY Club up in UC Irvine
met a lot of good breakers, been breaking every since.
oh underground parties? lik those battles of crew for money right?
yeah thats tight, annual korean culture fest?
you korean?
why dont u do kollaboration? thats korean-based isnt it?
yeah me too
you usually dance to funk styles, old school when u pop huh?</p>

<p>Ivy leagues are crapshoots. So HYP are very uncertain. You can choose one to apply one as a reach, unless you want to spend time applying to all three. I would choose only one to apply to, though. I don't see any real theme to your stats, no real direction...maybe politics? You should decide on what theme you would like your application to have, or what main hook you are going to work off of. I've figured out after a while that I think colleges are more interested in my art, so I am working with that.</p>

<p>You look like you have a fair shot at all the other schools. Good luck!</p>

9

<p>yeah.
politics.
im an intern for presidential candidate right now.
also i have background in interning. and leadership stuff up in sacramento
like boys state and mayor for a day</p>

10

<p>sickstep is tight
nice, I always love meeting other dancers.
lol im poor. sometimes we do for money (not even that much or like loser pays for food or something). We do it mostly for fun.
won 2nd place '06 at korean culture fest. :) yeah i'm korean
yeah kollaboration is korean-based but never did it cus I wanted to focus on school work at same time, I only pop during weekends and if i have some free time.
nah my style is mostly hip hop/hitting/animation/tutting/waves/glides like hyun joon's (I am heavily influenced by his style). underground parties here are bit different from other ones, its highly breakdance/hip hop oriented. </p>

<p>did you see the 2007 UK bboy championship and boty? Damn Extreme and TIP was tight. Although, I thought they could have done better.</p>

11

<p>haha nah
sickstep is wack now
ever since ryan, hok and victor left
they got some new faces but i dont like them
i like QUEST.
check them out, they're goood
oh 2nd place korean culture?
u got some clips of that on youtube?
oh yeah this year kollaboration, iuno my crew wanna perform and **** haha
oh
NAM HYUN joons?
damn hes good, probably best korean popper there is.
haha no wonder ur good, most poppers/bboys are koreans
ahhaha</p>

12

<p>yeah? i think sickstep is still pretty tight. didn't victor make quest?</p>

<p>yeah, a friend uploaded the video last year, he took it off many months ago. </p>

<p>psh, I am alright, but there are many ppl much better than me. Yeah most well known poppers/bboys are koreans. </p>

<p>hyun joon is sick, but idk about him being the best korean popper, he is certainly the most well known, but there are many who are equally good as him. He is my favorite though. </p>

<p>ey but props to you for doing well in school while dancing. I know its pretty hard to manage both.</p>

13

<p>hahah yeah victor made quest.
hahah
and thanks, i do what i can.
haha
any more replies?</p>
