<p>hi. i'm korean immigrant but US citizen.
i went to korean high school till 9th grade and started here from sophomore.</p>

<p>i wanna know my chances at UCs.. i'm california resident.</p>

<p>interested major-bioengineering(tough!)
GPA 4.32(weighted)/4.00(unweighted)
SATI 570(verbal)/800(math) planning to take again in dec. but.. it'll be pretty same score.
SATII 610(writing) took it on Nov. hoping 650+
800 math IIC
800 Korean
760 Chem
740 Bio
(and do you guys think putting Chem is better than Korean since i'm gonna major in bioengineering?)</p>

<p>7 AP classes (Chem, bio, physics, euro, government, literature, stat)
2 weighted honor classes (Chem pre-cal)
got 5 on AP stat and bio last year</p>

<p>ECs are just ok....
200+ community service hours
golf team (JV), marching band, did research at UCI bioengineering lab(my essay is about this), class president in 9th grade, lot of science math related awards</p>

<p>Essay is about why i wanna major in bioengineering.. (pretty good i think..)</p>

<p>The thing is that i'm applying for bioengineering which is one of most competitive major in UC..
Considering these.. tell me what are my chances at UCs!!</p>

<p>Berkely, LA, SD, Irvine, Riverside (all applying for bioengineering)
my first choice is SD. i hope i can make it!!</p>

<p>Please comment on it..</p>

<p>korean sat II will probably have no impact since you are korean. colleges dont even consider those sat II's if you are a native.</p>

<p>thanks guys..
wow.. SD has higher bioengineering program than Berkely and LA??
i knew that SD's graduate bioengineering is like the best..
but i thought still UCB needs higher SAT scores and stuff for undergrad..</p>

<p>what is avg SAT and gpa for SD bioengineering??
Is it tough to get in bioengineering with undeclared major in any school??</p>
