<p>i think those EC's are fine.</p>

5

<p>what SAT scores are you aiming for? you have a great GPA. Which UCs are you aiming for?</p>

6

<p>are you a senior or junior? Do you live in cali?</p>

7

<p>Im a senior and im aiming for 2000 minimum im at about 1970- 2000 range on practice tests right now and i do live in Cali. I want to go to UCLA UCB or UCSD</p>

8

<p>match for ucsd. slight reach for LA and Berk.</p>

9

<p>what/how many aps have u taken? your ecs and academic record may vindicate you of weak standardized test scores.</p>

<p>Soph </p>

<p>H CHem
H LA
H World hist
H ALg 2
Span </p>

<p>Junior </p>

<p>AP Chem
AP US Hist
H La 3 but there is an ap test to this
H Pre Calc Span 3 </p>

<p>Senior </p>

<p>AP ENviron
AP Lit
AP Calc BC
AP Gov/ Wcon H</p>

<p>what do u think i need to be considered for UCLA or UCB</p>

11

<p>These honors classes in which you have labeled "H" will not be considered honors to the UC's--exception of Pre Calc Honors--otherwise everything is of a 4.0 scale. your gpa will be recalculated into a UC gpa which will be lower. however, you have clearly chosen a highly rigorous courseload. UCLA and Berkeley are good matches. your SAT's indeed must be higher in order to be safe.</p>

12

<p>The AP's, however, are 5's. SAT must be at least 1900, according to your grades.</p>

13

<p>1900 ive been getting that im almost over the 2000 hump i pulled my first 2020 last test. But do u think a 2000, basketball, and my grades would do it for LA and Berkeley. </p>

<p>And by the way thanx for your guys responses</p>

14

<p>yes indeed.</p>

15

<p>If you get your SAT over 2000, you'd be a good match.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

16

<p>thankyou for all your feedback. any more appreciated just tryna get an idea of things while the application process is going on.</p>
