<p>Hi this is my first post but I was wondering what your guys opinion was since you seem very knowledgeable.</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
English 1 Honors: A/A
Spanish 2: B/B
Geometry: A/A
JV Sport (Running): A/A
Biology: A/A
World History Honors: A/A
4.17 Weighted GPA</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
1st semester:
English 2 honors: B
Spanish 3: A-
Algebra 2: B-
Crosscountry: A
Chemistry Honors: C-
AP World History: A
3.83 weighted GPA</p>

<p>2nd Semester (I went to a different school with a 4 period system and no honors classes offered)
English 2: A
Algebra 2:A
Chemistry:A
Political Science: A
4.0 weighted GPA</p>

<p>Junior Year (I'm guessing my second semester grade)
English 3 Honors: B/A
Trig/PreCal: A-/A
PE: A (1 semester) and 2nd semester finished AP World History: A
Physics: A/A
US History AP: A/A
Psychology: A and 2nd semester AP psychology: A
GPA first semester is 4.33 and second semester will probably be 4.67</p>

<p>SAT: 2150 but I plan on retaking it again and am confident I can get at least 2200 but I'm aiming for 2250.</p>

<p>I don't have any awards besides scholar athlete (3 semesters) and I know I'll at least get the commendation for National Merit (I got a 219)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Secretary of a small club
Historian of another small club
And probably VP of a small club</p>

<p>Job Experience:
Worked for 1 month at a doctors office
Will probably get a job during summer and possibly the rest of the school year</p>

<p>I have no volunteer experience, except I did help tutor a retarded boy but I did that on my own so can I put that down as volunteering?</p>

<p>I think I can write a very good admission essay.
Also I've had a lot of personal experiences to talk about, if that matters anything.
Also my ethnicity is biracial, half asian and half white but im going to put that im white.</p>

<p>also is there any advice you can give me to make me seem better?</p>

<p>Though I will probably perpetuate your pain with this post, you will receive more responses if you put this in the 'what are my chances?' sub-forum. Remember, colleges tend to favor resourceful students. :-)</p>

<p>the UCs dont grant 5 "points" for honors courses in 9th and 10th grade.</p>

<p>i believe it is only AP classes, Honors classes in 11th and 12th (certain classes) IB and community college classes.</p>

<p>correct me if i am wrong but im pretty sure im certain. i read this in my UC brochure...</p>

<p>oh ok i put it in the other forum</p>
