Please relieve my stress- what are my chances?

<p>So basically I'd like to know what chances I have of getting into any UC. I'm mainly aiming of UCR, UCSD, and UCSB. I am going to be DETAILED as possible here.</p>

<p>1) GPA:
My GPA is pretty bad. I started freshmen year with a 3.8 GPA but now I have a 3.2 GPA. I am currently in my Junior year. I'm in wrestling, and I'll probably finish high school with about 5 AP classes.</p>

<p>2) SAT:
I have somewhere from 2000-2200, but I can't remember right now. I'm planning on taking around 5 SAT subject tests.</p>

<p>3) Extra Curricular:
I spend a LOT of time with Class Committee Club and the Prom Committee Club. Although I don't have any head positions, I'm considered a very important member due to all my contributions. I've volunteered in a hospital for 100-200 hours. I'm currently searching for an internship.</p>

<p>4) Recommendations:
My Class Adviser adores me. She always calls me a genius and has nominated me for a few awards. She was also my freshmen math teacher. My English teacher appreciates me as well, and has written me numerous recommendations before. So I feel good about this section</p>

<p>5) Essay:
[I'm going to basically explain myself right? This is the summary of the essay I will write that's stuck in my head] So I started off good, but I went to my home country, India for summer vacation. It was a complete hell hole. My family began destroying each other, and I got into a physical fight with my dad. I came back to the USA with depression, sleep depression, suicidal thoughts, and crazy mood swings. The worst part was that I developed test anxiety (honestly I don't know how that came out of all this). So my sophomore year was a complete trash and I ended up failing Algebra 2/ Trig honors. I actually thought I passed. I had just finished rethinking my life, and decided that I would change the world through science. I still have big hopes. So I joined chemistry in summerschool and was the only person in the class to pass with a perfect 100%. I was so happy and I was really looking forward to changing things around. I was ready to take on AP Physics, and I spent so much time preparing for it too! But then, the news came to me that a D is actually a fail. I had to retake Algebra 2/ Trig honors. Also I couldn't take AP physics, instead, I was stuck with AP chem. I was also rejected from AP US history. The hell!? I became even more mad and so I decided that I'll learn what I want to learn instead of the crap they teach at school. I was smart enough that my history teacher transferred me back to AP US history. I can do math problems in half the time the class does it. I can figure out easier ways to do AP chem problems too. Unfortunately, that awful test anxiety is a problem. I've told my teachers, parents, and my coordinator, but no one is helping at all. The only thing I've got going for me now is the Plasma Generator I'm building for the Google Science Fair.</p>

<p>(My summary mini essay may look bad, but I assure I am very good at writing essays. I've won many awards. My church had an essay competition once on the subject of why religion is good. I explained in my essay that Im an atheist, I won first place!)</p>

<hr>

<p>Sorry that was so long (and a little braggy), but I wanted to be as detailed as possible. My parents claim that I'm not even eligible for a community college, but I'm not so sure. Please help me out.</p>

<p>by the way!: my interests and hobbies: Videogame designing the programming, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Flash. Hacking, great at sketching and art. </p>

<p>(Im self taught in all of them too! Never went to a class!)</p>

<p>Well, first of all, from my knowledge, I believe community colleges are basically obligated to accept everyone that applies.
Try to boost your GPA. Your test scores are really good, and you definitely need to work on your essay. Instead of criticizing the things that happened throughout your high school life, focus more on what you learned from the experiences. Look at everything with a positive perspective. For example: Although I wasn’t allowed to take AP Physics, I was still able to fulfill my passion for science through AP Chemistry.
If you score well on your AP exams, then you should be fine. Good luck!
And if you wouldn’t mind, could you please chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1476104-am-i-headed-right-direction.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1476104-am-i-headed-right-direction.html&lt;/a&gt; Thanks :)</p>
