Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm going to be a senior next year, and I honestly don't know what colleges to apply to. My parents don't think I'll be able to get anywhere "good" in their book due to my grades. =/ Please give me advice and any schools I may be able to get into! Thanks.</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
AP Chem A
AP Spanish A
Art 1 A
Alg2 Honors B/C
World History Honors B/A
English Honors: A
Japanese 2: A (I don't know if this counts in my gpa though even though my school gave me credit for it)</p>

<p>Junior Year:
AP Statistics A/B
AP Lit A
Art 2: A
Precalculus Honors: B (This course is weighted at my school)
AP Physics B: B/C
APUSH: B/A</p>

<p>Honestly, I'm not quite sure how to calculate my GPA. My school doesn't weight honors classes...with the exception of Precal honors.
and I have two Cs and I have no idea what's going to happen. Something sort of happened between sophomore and junior year that affected my grades but idk if I should talk about it in my essays.</p>

<p>AP Tests:
Chem: 5
Bio:5
Spanish:5
Music Theory:5
English:5
Psych:5
USH:4
Environmental Science:4
Stats:5</p>

<p>SAT IIs:
Chem: 790
Bio: 770
Math II: 800
Chinese: 800</p>

<p>SAT I: 2250
Crit: 730
Writ: 730
Math: 790</p>

<p>EC:

Science Olympiad Vice President

2 Internships (science related)</p>

<p>I really want to know what colleges I might be able to get in. I really want to go to like UCSD and UCLA and even higher but I don't know if that's possible. Btw I'm asian. Thank you!</p>

<p>Most schools do this: take each grade, convert it to a 4.0 scale ([How</a> to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>How to Convert (Calculate) Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale – BigFuture)), then average them to get your GPA. The UC system uses a different calculation, though. </p>

<p>At a glance, your chances at UCLA and Cal are not that bad (assuming you’re located in Cali), although your GPA seems to be pretty low. I would also say UCSD is a match for you.</p>

<p>Thanks! How about anywhere else? Are there any schools that are matches for me? Because right now I don’t even know where exactly to apply to ensure that I’ll get in to at least one school D:</p>

<p>Of the top of my head your gpa looks like a 3.5-3.6ish which is not bad at all. You SAT is great and you have a lot schools that would take you. However it is hard to make suggestions without knowing more info like whether or not you need aid. I will however recommend you talk to mom2collegekids as she has helped me. Also i believe youre eligible for full tuition at the U of Alabama.</p>

<p>Had a longer post but it got refreshed, sorry.</p>

<p>No I don’t really need aid but my parents are like “Well try to get SOME if you can, if not it’s fine”
I’m trying to get into either a premed program or major in biochemistry.
I really want to go to WUSTL or JHU but honestly I have no idea if I can get in. Good UCs would be fine too since I’m in california and it’ll be affordable.</p>

<p>It’s okay and thank you for replying :)</p>
