<p>A little bit about me:
-Live in California and go to a decent public school. 380 seniors in my class and we are on the block schedule.
-Asian American, come from an extended family who all are very intelligent and have/had successful careers. My direct family is the rotten apple of the family tree though, and I grew up in a low-income household most of my life.
-Gotta get this out of the way: I was extremely lazy my freshman, sophomore and most of my junior year. I NEVER studied for tests and often didn't do homework. All I ever did was play WoW pretty much until midway through my junior year where I decided to try harder. I don't play anymore though and am trying much harder now.
-I'm interested mainly in film and something to with computer programming and stuff like that</p>
<p>Colleges:
-All the UC's but more specifically UCD, UC Berkeley, UCSB, and UCLA. Also interested in USC. (UCLA and USC for film schools)</p>
<p>Stats (all are pretty bad):
-Unweighted GPA: 3.3
-Weighted GPA 3.64
-Class rank unweighted: 93/380
-Class rank weighted: 64/380</p>
<p>The classes I've taken though have actually been difficult, as I've taken all Honors/AP classes that my school offers (aside from the science ones) and aside from my freshman year few "fun" electives.</p>
<p>AP Classes:
-AP Economics (11th: didn't take test since I didn't feel confident I would do well)
-AP Euro: taking later this year and I plan on taking the test
-AP Calculus: in right now and plan on taking the test
-AP English/Lit: in right now</p>
<p>SAT I: 1750 (I didn't study for this at all because I was lazy and thought I could just walk in and get 2000+)
-CR: 600
-W: 620
-M: 530
I plan on retaking this in Nov. and I'm already studying for it</p>
<p>SAT II: Took US History and Lit. today. I'm honestly feeling I got in the 600 range but could be better or worse.</p>
<p>Senior year schedule:
-Community Service
-AP Calc AB
-Sociology/Government
-AP English/Lit
then...
-AP Euro
-AP Calc BC
-Film
-Honors Physics</p>
<p>EC's (I fail here):
-Band and Journalism freshman year
-Applied to and was accepted into Spanish Honors Society but never went to any of the meetings or the inaugeration ceremony thing
-Taekwondo up until sophomore year when I broke my wrist. Six months away from blackbelt
-Plan on doing tennis this year if that counts but it wont be until spring
-Independent film club and hardcore camping club (fun clubs so probably don't mean anything).</p>
<p>Recs: I haven't asked for any yet </p>
<p>Essay: I feel its pretty good and during my English class's anonymous peer readings I got good reviews on it.</p>
<p>Other: My family really wants me to go to Berkeley because both my cousins went there but I know its pretty much out of reach but I'm going to apply anyways. I've also had a part time job working 20 hours a week my junior and senior year. I heard the UC has a different GPA scale and there was one course that I got a D+ in then retook and got an A so that might help me.</p>
