<p>Hey everyone!
So basically throughout my early high school years, I have fallen greatly in my academics (No honors freshman year, 2 honors but no APs sophomore year).
However, I have worked my butt off to improve my poor GPAs and have eventually enrolled in more rigorous classes, especially for my junior year.</p>
<p>Here goes my stats: </p>
<p>Freshman:
3.14 - first sem
3.5 - second sem (Made up Geometry: From D to A through Credit Recovery)
NO HONORS</p>
<p>Sophomore:
2.8 - first sem
3.67 - second sem
TWO HONORS (NW) </p>
<p>Junior:
3.33 - first sem
~ 4.0 - sec sem (Currently I have a 4.0, but semester didn't end yet.. But this time I am making sure that I will achieve that score or higher!)
2 AP classes 1 Honor (W) </p>
<p>SAT:
1700 first try, retaking upcoming June. </p>
<p>EC's:
So my extracurricular is rare, and I am still unsure whether or not all that I've committed outside of school is eligible to be counted as "volunteer hours", but basically:
1. Volunteer at senior center
2. Beach cleanups
3. ** 4 years setting up online business <a href="all%20cash%20goes%20to%20parents">Ebay and Amazon</a>
For the third main EC, I aid and work for this online business almost everyday, selling hats, BB Creams, toys from L.A., etc. - but the question is, does this contribute to "volunteer hours" under Extracurricular Activities? </p>
<p>My dream school is UC Irvine under either Undeclared or Environmental Design/Sciences.
I know it seems a bit too full of hope, but according to some stories and stats, I have realized that people with avgs of 3.1 - 3.3 still pretty often get into UCI and other UCs! </p>
<p>I'm sorry if this post is long, I just joined CC today.
Anyway, does anyone think it is possible to get in? </p>
<p>Thank you so much in advance!</p>
