<p>I posted a chance me thread months ago but this one is very updated...</p>

<p>UC gpa- 3.78.. I think. I always mess up when I'm trying to calculate it.
SAT- 2000 (670 cr, 540 m, 790 w, 12 essay) and I took it again today.
Bio 670, Lit 670</p>

<p>I graduated early in Oct. and my senior year courses were BCIS, art 2 and speech.. but I am taking these AP tests- Economics, Psychology and English literature.</p>

<p>Community service- Volunteer at hospital, organized blood drive and project helping pregnant teens and their children at my school, Chairman of Outreach Committee at my church, organized Darfur awareness rally/fund raising car washes/garage sales, Pre-k Sunday school teacher, 2 mission trips to Mexico, 1 mission trip to Japan. I am also organizing a toys for tots project, salvation army trips for my church youth group and various other projects (beautification, more Darfur, fund raising money to buy medical supplies for a medical mission trip to Honduras in Dec., etc) but I forgot to list this on the app.... Are they worth emailing admissions to add them to my app?</p>

<p>EC- 4 years of competitive cheerleading, 4 years of gymnastics</p>

<p>Awards- cheerleading competition awards, honor roll, Essay award</p>

<p>Work experience- a year as a hostess (20 hrs a week), book keeping secretary from Oct 07-Sept 08 </p>

<p>Good essays (writing is my only strength).</p>

<p>Schools-
UCSB
USCS
Cal Poly
NYU -I'm just curious about this one. I know I have a snow ball's chance in hell of getting in and I don't even want to go there but my dad is forcing me to apply. I'll have great recommendations. Oh and I'd be applying to Arts & Sciences.</p>

<p>THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!! I'm really stressing out because I don't think I'll get into my top choice SB and I would be grateful for as many opinions as I can get.</p>

<p>Are you sure you're eligible for UC if you graduated that early? Assuming that you are...</p>

<p>UCSB: slight reach
UCSC: match
Cal Poly: match
NYU: slight reach - high match</p>

<p>This is because you're OOS.</p>

<p>^I did the "find out if you're eligible calculator" thing and it said I was... But why wouldn't I be eligible if I graduated early? And thanks for your response.</p>

<p>Usually, graduating early means not taking classes that you don't need to graduate, but those same classes tend to be the ones that UC requires.</p>

5

<p>Oh okay well I took summer school and distance learning courses so I have all the credits that I need for UCs. </p>

<p>UCSB is harder to get into than NYU?</p>
