<p>I'm a junior looking to a higher level school, but not an Ivy like most people that hang around here. I was wondering specifically about University of Toronto (1st choice), UC Davis, maybe UCLA, and San Diego State (safety).</p>
<p>I don't really know everything someone needs to put for this kind of thing, so if I miss something just ask...</p>
<p>public high school, normal but with a lot of high achievers
ranking: don't know, they don't do it until after graduation
gpa: UW: 3.67 W: 4.02
SAT I: 1930 (CR: 650 M: 620 WR: 660) (I want to retake it later this year)
no SAT II
no ACT yet, but I want to take it later this year
AP: 3 on European History 3 on US History 4 on English Language 5 on Psychology
Senior Course load: AP English Literature, AP Statistics, AP Environmental Science, CP Government/Economics (no AP at our school), Spanish III (balloted for Pre-AP but they're not having the class this year), Journalism 1-2 (wanted Speech, but again no class)
EC: volunteered in foreign countries for a month in the summer for 3 years (they will write letters of rec. if needed) Marching Band for all 4 years (leadership position this year), played piano for 12 years [volunteered in Mexico for 2 weeks freshman year, Asian Club sophomore year, Psychology Club sophomore year, community service club junior year-planning to be in it next year, volunteered at our city's literacy center once a week for 6 months during sophomore year]</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are? (especially want to know for UofT) If I put all the [weird and superfluous] clubs on my apps, will it make me look well rounded or unfocused? Any advice on which ones are worth talking about? Want to start my own "global" club next year, but I don't know if it will happen. Its a pretty long process at my school.</p>
<p>Does major change admissions chances at any of the schools I've mentioned?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
