senior schedule/ apps/ etc... HELP PLEASE!

Applying to College
1

<p>Well first of all, I am an upcoming senior at a High School in Southern California that is ranked #28 in the nation for public high schools by Newsweek. The school is super-competitive. I was wondering if that would matter at all to the admission officers for colleges. Also, here is a little more about me...</p>

<p>My gpa (unweighted 10-11) :3.0
(weighted 10 -11): 3.3571</p>

<p>Best SAT reasoning: 2160
SAT subject tests:
korean- 790
US History- 660
Math II c - 800</p>

<p>AP Exams:
European History: 4
Us History : 3
Statistics : 5</p>

<p>EC's:
frosh/soph basketball 1 year, 150 hour internship at the Doubletree Guest Suites, Volunteer work with disabled students every saturday for 6 hours, Appointed board member for Key Club, active member of FBLA(future business leaders of america), church praise team</p>

<p>For my senior year, I am taking a lot of challenging classes (one of them being ap spanish 4) and i was wondering if it would make a big difference if i took ap spanish 4 or not. The class is extremely hard at our school and most of the students barely pull off B's.</p>

<p>Also, do I stand any chance of getting into a school such as USC?
Thanks a lot to anyone that replies!</p>

<p>Your SAT I & II's are great.
Your GPA however...not so good. You'll probably have to up the GPA (USC looks at 9-11 & ask for mid-year reports senior year) up a bit, especially for the the UC's.</p>

<p>Only take AP Spanish 4 if you really like the subject. Otherwise, what's the point in taking the class if you don't like it? It'll probably won't make a difference if you do take it or not as you've stated that the students in your school barely pull of B's, and you'll need to maximize your GPA the 1st semester of Senior year as much as possible. :)</p>

<p>Good luck! :D</p>
