<p>Alright. So I am going to be a senior this fall 09 and I have to start applying for colleges.</p>

<p>Right now, I have 4.34 (sophomore/junior year only) UC weighted GPA. Unweighted GPA: I believe for freshmen, sophomore and junior year, its 3.897 but for just sophomore and junior year, should be around 3.90 or 3.91.</p>

<p>I have taken the SAT and my highest score is 1880 (this january), however I have been practing this summer a lot and i believe I can raise it up to above 2000 (`2020-2050).</p>

<p>I have taken 4 APs so far and taking 4 more next year and have gotten
AP Euro- 3
AP USH- 4
AP Eng Lan- 4
AP Chem- 5</p>

<p>SAT II USH- 720
SAT MATH II- 650 (i know, i didnt even practice bcuz of aps)
SAT II CHEM- 740</p>

<p>My extracurricular activities:
I learn the keyboard (instrument) where they teach on how to "decode" any song onto the keyboard by listening through ear (6 years)
I play Badminton for my school (4 years and Varsity senior year)
I have about 225 hours of Community Service
Successfully revived the five year old dead Computer Club and turned it into Technology Club. President of Technology Club and going to have E-waste meetings etc.. this fall.
I am Link Leader, and served as health/medicine club treasurer
3 Years I have recieved NCS Scholar Award
Have worked at a computer (EMS) company for 1.5 months
Taken IT Course at Community College
Have helped secure network and wrote and article for Tri City Voice (local newspaper company)
Worked at the UPS Store as Data Entry/ Marketing Ideas person</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into the following universities:</p>

<p>UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, Stanford, MIT, Cornell, Purdue, Carnegie, University of Illionois(Urbana Champagne), University of Michigan(Ann Arbor), USC.</p>

<p>I am planning to get a masters in engineering (EE, chemical, or bio med- havent decided yet but im sure im going to be an engineer) tho i really love computers and they are my hobby etc.</p>

<p>I really have my heart set on UCSD, Purdue, and Carnegie right now however.</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot now at Purdue and Michigan and with a 2000 you have a very good shot at UCSD. CMU and USC will probably want a little closer to 2100 and a good retake of the mathII.</p>

<p>Stanford and MIT would take a 2250 plus and very high class rank.</p>

<p>Your GPA is great for Cal and UCLA but both have average SATs around 2050. The higher the better for engineering. So they are reaches, but not impossible.</p>
