<p>Female, White, California, Catholic College-Prep School.
GPA: 3.2 UW, nearly the same weighted. For the last 3 years, I have unfortunately ended each semester with an 89% in about 2-4 classes. That's why my GPA is so horrible.
ACT: 32 (34 english, 28 math, 34 reading, 30 science, 8 essay) i plan to retake and try to raise essay and math.
Courses: My school is on the smaller side(about 500 students) and only offers 6 AP classes. I applied for 3, but did not get in because there is only one class for each course and I suppose other people were more qualified. Self-studying this year for AP Statistics and AP Psychology. Took Honors Chemistry sophomore year. </p>

<p>Essay:
Very passionate, about my love for photography and its affect on how I view the world.
My college counselor is a reader for UCLA admission essays and said my essay was very strong. </p>
<p>Strengths(I hope):
First generation, upward trend(from 2.7 freshman year to 4.0 senior year), incredibly strong photography portfolio, art major. </p>
<p>Colleges:
I'm applying as an Art major and RD to each school so I can send my first semester senior year GPA, which should be a 3.8-4.0.</p>
