<p>I am not currently a senior, so lots of this stuff will be guesses, but will give roughly where I will be at my Senior year.</p>

<p>Upper Middle-Class White Guy, Southern California - Good Public School</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.45</p>

<p>Upward Trend In Grades</p>

<p>SAT: PSAT (As A Sophomore): 176 - So I am guessing with some prep and a course I can get it around high 1900ish - low 2000ish.</p>

<p>AP's & Honors: 6 Honors (Only 2 are UC weighted honors) & 3 APs completed by end of high school.</p>

<p>SAT II: Guessing Good US History - Average / Slightly Above Average Math 2c</p>

<p>ECs: 1 Year Frosh BBall - 2 Years JV Tennis - 2 Years Varsity Tennis
Church Stuff
(As a total probably a little above average)</p>

<p>Essays: Will Probably be slightly above average.</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: Probably slightly above average.</p>

<p>Volunteering: Probably around 80 hours - Mission trip to Dominican Republic to build house gave me 40 hours.</p>

<p>Well, lots of that is a guess. That's where I will roughly be soon.</p>

<p>Tentatively, I plan to major in business.</p>

<p>What are my chances for UCs, and maybe upper CAL States?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you still have time to raise your grades, I hope you do so.</p>

<p>I think you can make all CSUs (except Business school @ Cal Poly and any of their other strong programs like architecture), Merced, Riverside, and Santa Cruz for UCs.</p>

<p>It'll be tough to make the middle to upper tier ones.</p>

<p>And they don't accept teacher rec. letters for both CSUs and UCs.</p>

<p>However, if that UC GPA can raise to 3.5-3.7 range and a good SAT, like 2000, I don't see why you can't make some middle tier UCs. Good luck.</p>
