Hopefully I'll make 0 period choir again (it's the top choir at my school made up of only 18-20 people so needless to say you have to audition for it)
Teacher's Aide
I chose a lighter course-load this year so I can really focus on my EC's and because I may not be taking a whole lot of courses but they're really good/interesting courses.</p>

<p>I've attended a few summer leadership programs, such as the National Young Leaders' Conference and a LeadAmerica Conference on Forensic Science. I participate in a lot of extracurriculars and I have about 93 hours of Community Service...it's likely that I'll have about 130 by graduation.</p>

<p>I scored a 1670 on the SAT I with an 8 on the essay (My math score really killed me, as I knew it would, math is definitely not my strong point). I scored 470 on the Math section, 580 on Critical Reading and 620 on Writing.</p>

<p>I also took Literature, Math II and Chemistry subject tests and scored 470 on Math (again, math is nowhere near my strong point), 540 on Literature and 450 on Chemistry.</p>

<p>For the volunteer work that I have logged: I was a teacher's aide in summer school, which got me 73 hours. I was also a teacher's aide during the regular school year but did not receive credit and chose instead to receive community service hours, which got me 20 hours. However, I also have several hours I have not logged including singing for the Most Inspiring Student Dinner Awards in my city and doing various performances (with a group) for small children.</p>

<p>As for EC's:
-I was a member of the Women's Varsity golf team for 3 years
-I have been singing for school for the past 9 years and with my church for 3 years. I am involved in the top choir at my school and we have traveled to San Francisco State for a festival and to Jamestown with other choirs from my District for the celebration of the 400th anniversary of Jamestown.
-I have been involved in musical theatre for 7 years
-I am a Co-Chair for the club at my school called GirlsTalk, a club for girls (obviously) to discuss various issues from current events to safe weight loss/gain to pregnancy..pretty much everything under the sun.
-I have been on the Cultural Assembly Committee for 2 years
-I participated in the Invisible Children Club this year (Invisible Children is an organization helping to resolve the issue of child soldiers in Northern Uganda)</p>

<p>That's all the EC's that come to mind.</p>

<p>Oh. I've also received several academic and other awards, including:
-Medal of Merit Nomination (English)
-3 Science Awards of varying levels (Meteor, Comet, Nova)..there are 6 possible awards that can be earned
-Most Dedicated Player (golf team)
-Junior Varsity and Varsity golf letters
-Choir letter
-Outstanding English Student
-Outstanding Modern World History Student</p>

<p>So. The schools I'm applying to:
-Cal State Long Beach
-Colorado Christian
-San Francisco State
-University of Washington, Seattle
-San Diego State
-UC Monterey Bay
-Golden Gate University
-University of Colorado Boulder</p>

<p>Anyone? Anything you can give me would be helpful. Suggestions to other schools are also welcome.</p>

3

<p>Add to the Awards/Honors:
-HOBY Award Runner-Up
-Spring Musical Understudy (this is pretty much an award at my school, our musicals are INCREDIBLY competitive).</p>

<p>To the front with ye.</p>

<p>This post is really long, just let me...</p>

<p>Meh, I don't feel like reading it. Sorry.</p>

<p>Might want to raise your SAT a bit for the CSUs but you should be fine. No idea on the others, and UC Monterey Bay isn't a school.</p>

<p>Being top 5% in California will automatically qualify you for acceptance at a UC, so you might want to consider applying to a few lower-tier UCs (Merced, SC, ect)</p>

7

<p>Oh man, I totally meant CSU Monterey Bay. <em>slow</em></p>

8

<p>Her SATs are already above average for CSUs.</p>

9

<p>I'd say the ECs are fairly strong</p>

10

<p>Thanks guys :)</p>

<p>BTW. A lot of CSU's and UC's don't even look at SAT scores if your GPA is over a 3.0.</p>

<p>WHICH ONES?!?! haha do tell. my sat scores are fine for CSUs, but a little low for the upper UCs.</p>

<p>and your courses next year sound interesting! i wish my school had fun classes like that, philosophy and whatnot. you lucky milikan kids!</p>

12

<p>Yeah you're darn right!!! You know Millikan beats Lakewood. :-p haha j/k.</p>

<p>Ummm well I know for sure that if your GPA is above 3.0 and you apply at Cal State Long Beach they don't look at your SAT scores. That's the only one I know of off the top of my head.</p>

<p>But just remember that they're looking at things holistically now, so even if your scores are low if you have good stats otherwise you should be fine.</p>
