-I'm one of the "better" pianists of CA, if u do the MTAC Convention stuff I made Panel Honors, which is only awarded to 33 people statewide (150+ppl try for it i think).
i've also placed in a bunch of other competitions before; so mostly my app focuses on music. i guess im tryina "sell" myself as a musician..
(I'm also submitting a recording to the upper-tier UCs and the private schools i'm applying to)
-i volunteer at a nursing home, and i give hourly solo piano performances twice a month..hopefully this is an "unique" extracirricular.
-i've volunteered at a museum (Tech Museum of Innov.) for a year or so..exhibit explainer for the most part, i suppose. in essays, i made it sound like i gained a love for science from volunteering (it did actually)
-ive been an assistant basketball coach for a year (9th)</p>
<p>Clubs:
CSF-2 years
FBLA-4 years; placed in State Leadership Conf. before</p>
<p>Essays:
one was on how i learned from my chemistry teacher how hard work was required to gain success in whatever u do(hence the upward grade trend). the other was about volunteering at the senior center home, and how i hope to continue doing music. the other was about taking classes outside of school etc...i think my personal statement is decent but if i could change it i would..but im sure thats the same with all of us</p>
<p>i'm doing undeclared-letters and science. </p>
<p>i made a thread in the chances forum but since UCB is actually my top choice i thought i might as well post here as well. don't worry this'll be the only time i post a chances thread in here. </p>
<p>around 20-25 ppl a year get into UCB at my school every year i believe..also, there are a lotta ppl i know that are def. qualified for UCB that dont apply cuz they dont wanna go there</p>
<p>you are a pretty good match. GPA is slightly below average but your E.C.'s are simply outstanding. SAT's look solid. I'd say match, if your essays are good..</p>
<p>Could someone summarize my chances? Also, could you please indicate if you're a high schooler or UCB student or UCB grad? Thanks.</p>
<p>My essays are trash. They don't have any spelling or grammar errors, and they answer the questions, but they are poorly written (I wrote them all at 11:00 pm 30 Nov). Do think my scores can offset them?</p>
<p>SAT: CR 720 M 800 W 750
SAT MathII: 800
SAT Physics: 800
12 APs with 4s and 5s</p>
<p>GPA UW: 4.0 with toughest courseload possible</p>
<p>ECs: Lots of inconsequential clubs, primarily those associated with gaming (chess, scrabble, connect four, bridge, etc...)
Boy Scouts - Life scout, 200 hours community service, 100 nights camped</p>
<p>I'm not a California resident but I would get the state tuition because both of my parents pay taxes to California.</p>
<p>I don't even know why I'm writing this. I'll get in or I won't and asking a bunch of equally uniformed (no offence to those who are) is kind of pointless.</p>
<p>Slorg, first, make your own thread.
Second, you have 2320 SAT I, 800 800 on SATII's, 4.0 UW and 12 AP's
Why do you even bother to ask for "chances"?</p>
