<p>Hey all, so i am about to finish my 2nd semester of 11th grade and these are my credentials so far:</p>

<p>Sophomore year( Took 1 weighted): 3.5 weighted, 3.33 unweighted both semesters.</p>

<p>Junior year(Took 4 weighted): 2.5 gpa weighted, 2.0 unweighted. 2nd semester: 4.5 weighted, 3.89 un weighted.</p>

<p>Sat score: 2010</p>

<ul>
<li>leadership</li>
<li>3 YEARS Varsity tennis. </li>
<li>State Level chess player
-200 volunteer hours</li>
<li>Internship at Dartmouth ivy. - I have a UC gpa of: 3.5</li>
<li>Helped elderly at Stanford.</li>
</ul>

<p>The reason for my first semester fail junior year, was because i had a personal loss and i just could't focus. I had to recieve psychological therapy to get back. 2nd semester, i worked my butt of and did very well. So can u guys tell me my chances at UCSD, UCDavis, Uc Santa barbara, Uc Irvine? Will colleges understand my loss, and see my improvement 2nd semester. Is there anyway i can emphasize this point, or anyway i can improve my chances?</p>

<p>Sounds like you’ve got things back on track. I’m not sure how your second semester could be over…
With a 3.5 UC GPA and 2010 SAT, you’ve got a good shot a UCSB (70%). The others are more selective, I’ll give you 50/50 at all of them.</p>

<p>All the UCs look at a variety of factors so, your ECs and personal struggles are considered. Be sure to apply broadly, include a couple CSUs for good measure. </p>

<p>To improve your chances, do your best this semester. Ace the AP tests you take. Take a handful of AP courses next year and, maybe take the SAT and/or ACT one more time.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>UCSB & UCSD: Low reach
UC Davis: Match
UCI: Match</p>

<p>I encourage you to also submit an app to UC Santa Cruz (Low match/Safety) and Cal Poly (which is the most prestigious Cal State). Best of luck.</p>

<p>Admissions are major dependent. Engineering and other STEM programs are the most competitive. </p>
