Increase UCLA Chances

<p>Hi, here are some information about me, and feel free to share your experiences or ideas!</p>

<p>Asian; family income > $150,000; parents both went to college in Asia; I came here when I was 9.
(I am a JUNIOR right now)</p>

<p>High school rank in CA: top 5 (I don't want to give out the specifics) - Public</p>

<p>GPA (UW) = 3.65
GPA (W) = 4.1
SAT Reasoning = 2100
SAT 2 [Language] = 790
(I still have some APs and SAT2s to take)</p>

<p>FBLA (Business Law); Hip-Hop Club; Red-Cross; Swim team and tennis team (but not for school); Piano CM Advanced/10; 1st Place [Language] Composition.
(those are the main things, but not all)</p>

<p>I'm planning to...
- volunteer as a cabin leader for a week (80+ hours)
- do some tour guiding and etc this summer (my parents's company)
- try to get my GPA up a little bit
- write a bomber essay when the time comes :]</p>

<p>Should I...
- consider taking courses at a community college so that my GPA would be raised?</p>

<p>Thanks for reading through; please leave some ideas behind!
:]
- consider doing an UCLA summer program?</p>

<p>I didn't know taking a course at cc increases your GPA... well, UC's have their own GPA system so... w/e.</p>

<p>I think you are doing fine. Just don't be lazy on your senior year (like some people crying about their bad grades on senior year)</p>
