<p>I see the title has caught your attention. Thanks :)</p>
<p>I very passionately want to get into UC Santa Cruz. I am still a junior in high school with a LOT of freshman mistakes in my transcript. I'm running out of internet classes I'm allowed to use, so I took my calculator and punched in my semester grades assuming I pass my internet classes, and found that would have an overall GPA of about 3.29, from 10-11th grade.</p>
<p>EC:
I am involved in multiple non-profit organizations, 2 of them for neglected children and the other for helping the poor.</p>
<p>At first I wanted to apply with a game-making major (because I have been making games on my own for a long time), but seeing as my math isn't soaring through the roof (A's B's, and C's) I'm considering the change to video arts instead. The logic being that I'm excelling in Video Arts, and also I could change my major if I get into college. In addition, I am interning on a video-arts related job. The twist in the essay would be me using video as a way to shape the community. huehuehue.</p>
<p>Anyways, My high school career has been improving from a Ds and Fs in 9th grade; to Ds and Cs in 10th; and Cs and Bs in Junior year so far. I'm wrapping up cleaning all the D's in the A-G requirements, so I can be eligible.</p>
<p>I also heard there is some kind of admission by exam that can get you a spot if you're grades are not stellar. (I am a pretty good test taker and plus I am taking a tutoring program that will be hammering me on ACT/SAT kind of stuff; so I can assure you my test scores will be quite high). Also I went and calculated my UC SCORE online and I assumed I would get high scores in writing, math, and english with writing, and a bit lesser scores on the rest of the subjects to which it told me I was in the top 9%.</p>
<p>1.Does that mean if I get those scores on these tests, I am guaranteed a seat in a UC?
2.What are my chances if my scores on the ACT/SAT are significantly higher than my GPA?
3.Also can you chance me on UCSC, UCR, UCM, SJSU?</p>
<p>Help! (especially people who have gotten in with low gpa help mee!)</p>
<p>Thanks a great deal.</p>
