<p>My concerns are that we're in the second term, and I haven't gotten an A in an AP class yet, and I got a C in AP Calc- not from lack of trying, but because I found it extremely difficult. I'm unsure how to address this in my personal statements. In any way I look at it, I'm not put in a positive light. I've had no personal trauma of any sort in my life, so I don't have much of an excuse.
I consider myself to be well-rounded, but I'm not sure if it shows in my transcript.
I got several B's and a few A's my freshman year, but I worked harder and received straight A's my junior year, but with only 2 AP classes (APUSH and AP Pysch)</p>

Began swim when I was around 6 or 7 outside of school, and stopped for 4 years, then took it up again for a summer before joining my school team in my sophomore year. I hold a few school records in JV swim.
Swim, Key Club, Asian club, CSF since sophomore year
Tennis, Mathletes, VP to two clubs, volunteered at a nursing home/hospital, since junior year
NHS, HOSA beginning senior year
150+ Hours of community service</p>

<p>Your test scores just don’t seem to match the rest of your resume. (SAT II, AP’s) Its kinda strange to be able to get an A in an AP class but not a passing score on the test if your school is extremely competitive… maybe its not as competitive as you think?</p>

<p>I would really be working on your SAT II’s really. You might want to consider retaking both of them, since 610… is kinda low.</p>

<p>EC’s are ok for UC’s. nothing amazing. 150 hours of community service isn’t really a lot.</p>

<p>I can definitely see what you mean.
The AP classes I took in my junior year were not what I considered to be a real AP class, because the teachers I had were sorta laid back and didn’t exactly push us…
But I don’t think I studied my hardest for the tests either.
About the SAT II’s, yeah, my Bio score is really low. :[ I’m just vainly hoping that if I get a really high math score… that’ll help a little bit…</p>

<p>wow!!!
I’m ranked #35/652 in my school and i have a 3.6 !!! weighted!</p>

<p>My UC GPA is a 4.0</p>
