I need advice on activities that I can do to improve my chances on getting into a good school. I am willing to work hard, I just have not had any opportunities that interest me, although as highschool continues I realize that I need to start.
I am a highschool junior attending a small(600 student) school, I went to a different highschool for freshman and sophomore year that did not offer AP or Honors classes, and I am now in AP English Literature and Honors World History, and first semester I took Honors Algebra 2/Trig, but have since dropped the honors into regular.
GPA : 3.82
SAT(First time, last month) : 1780
C. Reading : 580
Math : 570
Writing : 630
Family Income : >$45,000
I am a female, hispanic and Alaska Native as well as caucasian
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated, I feel embaressed to set my sights even moderatly high because of my lack of extra-curriculars.
I would love to go to UCI, although I know that it is a stretch, but I also don’t want to head into applying to colleges selling myself short. I am very competent and I try very hard in school, and hopefully I can improve my chances with any support/criticism/advice I can get!
