Taking a chance...

<p>Hi, I would like to know what others think about my chances of getting into Georgetown University, Barnard College, or UC Berkeley. </p>

<p>I am worried regarding my GPA, because I had some major health issues in my sophomore year, leaving me with a 3.75 unweighted, taking three honors courses. I have a heart condition and diagnosis, care, and treatment demanded much of my time and caused hardship for my family during that year. Well, no one wants to read a long paragraph of pity and/or excuses so here I go. </p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.98 (they do not take + or - into account), and I am a CA resident. </p>

<p>For other schools:
Sophomore GPA: 3.75 unweighted, 4.0 weighted, taking 3 honors courses (max is 4 honors sophomore year at my school)
Junior Year GPA: 3.95 unweighted, 4.25 weighted. My school only offers three AP classes for juniors, and I'm taking two AP Classes and one honors class. (AP Lang, AP Bio, and Honors Precalculus)
Senior year: I am junior, but I am on the track to take Honors Physics, Honors Calculus AB, AP English Lit, AP Studio Art, and possibly AP Spanish. If I do not take spanish, I will take thermodynamics.
AP SCORES: I am getting a flat A in AP bio and there's a 85% rate at my school of AP bio students getting a 5, even with the redesigned course, so I really believe I can easily get a 5 on both my AP Bio exam and my AP Language exam. </p>

<p>Extracurriculars/Leadership:
Will have 4 years of Visual Arts Conservatory (9-12)
3 Years Diversity Committee member 10-12, and I will be head of Diversity Committee--12
3 Years Arts Council 9-12, I will be head of Arts council next year-- 12
2 Years head of Environmental/sustainabililty committee-- 11,12
1 year Mission Effectiveness Committee
California Scholarship Federation scholar
Over 1,000 volunteer hours</p>

<p>Research job at Caltech for over 1,000 volunteer hours, I worked there 9 hours a day for a post-doc in a biology lab every day in summer and I work there during the school year on the weekends.
I will also submit a visual arts portfolio. </p>

<p>SAT: ~2000 COLD, will feasibly reach 2200+ by senior year</p>

<p>Looking good for Cal and Georgetown now (don’t know about others). Make sure you put in what happened to you for your extenuating circumstances spot. This will help you a ton.

<p>you’re on the right track, go hard its all within reach. make sure to focus on your SAT because it might be the difference between something like UCSD or Berkley</p>
