<p>Hi just to introduce myself, NO HATE, I am well aware that you CC people are ingenious; I am not lol. I want to face reality if I have to and please know that I still have a year to go before I send the apps in anyway. In other words, I will be able to improve somewhat; there is hope!

APs: I have passed the two I have taken so far with a 3 and 4.
Residence: Ventura County, CA

**OKAY, my school with H Advanced Anatomy is ONE of the TWO schools in the ENTIRE COUNTRY with this course. We dissect human cadavers the entire year, and it is modeled after a 2nd year course in med school!! This is pretty darn unique if you ask me.
My ECs are limited, however. I have done 150 hours of local library service and am in the midst of doing 150 hours of local hospital work. I have participated in one Relay for Life team. I have been an avid JSA debate club member for two years and will join Spanish Honors Society next year. I was a finalist for season 4 auditions of Extreme Couponing, but did not make it on the show due to sending my application in too late:,,,0 I plan to start my own Coupon Club at my school (donating coupons to military and those in need) this semester.</p>

<p>dude my school has the same course. H Advanced Anatomy. Your volunteer hours look good. Retake your SAT for sure 2000 is too low. Below are based on your 2000 SAT
UCSD- high match
UCLA- reach
UCBerkley-reach
Good luck
please chance me

<p>IF you can retake your SAT and get a 2200 then these will be your chances in my opinion. </p>

<p>UCSD - low match
UCLA - match
UCB - low reach</p>

<p>The UCs look for grades and test scores a lot. I’d have to say:</p>

<p>UCSD low match
UCLA high match
UCB low reach</p>

<p>To maximize chance, you’ll have to get a high SAT score. I suggest to look at other colleges which don’t look as grades as much but can be as good or even better than the UCs. That said, don’t give up. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think you have a very solid list of schools.</p>

<p>UCLA - I think this will be a high match for you. Looking at your scores and your course load you should stand a decent shot of getting in.</p>

<p>UCB - Another high match in my opinion; I think you are more than capable of getting in, but it is still a bit of a stretch.</p>

<p>UCSD - this one shouldn’t be as hard for you. This a low match and maybe even a safety.</p>

<p>Your GPA and scores are a little bit on the low side, esp for Berkeley, but I think you still have a good shot. </p>

<p>UCSD - Match/Safety
UCLA - High match
UCB - Low Reach</p>

<p>If you can bring your SAT to 2200+ and get straight As this semester, I think you can bring UCLA to a match and UCB to high match. Good luck!</p>
