<p>Hi, so I'm a little new to CC, and I apologize if I posted this in the wrong place.
I have a mediocre GPA and good ACT, and I'm really worried about where I'm going to get into because I've been looking through the thread on here and I'm really scared.
So I'm a high school junior, and I'm starting to think about where I should apply to next fall. Right now, I have a 3.6 weighted GPA (I go to an extremely competitive school, and I'm taking the hardest courses I can, and my school doesn't offer weighted classes until junior year.)
I have a 29 ACT score, though I'm planning on retaking it in the hopes of getting a 31+ score.
I'm in a ton of ECs ( I do community service, I'm on board of 3 clubs, and I started my own. I also had a short paid job working at an IT camp). Planning to take bio at a CC this summer, and have a paid job.
I want to major in biology, and eventually pursue a career in biotechnology (either academia or industry).
I know my GPA is a bit low, but I'm hoping a strong ACT should somewhat compensate...
I live in CA, and hope to attend either UCI or UCD. (I live in Irvine, really close to UCI. Does that help any?)
Which colleges should I look into, which majors should I pursue... I'm so confused.
Help is appreciated!</p>
