<p>You have really strong extra curriculars! You also did a lot of volunteering at hospitals and have a good idea of where you’re going in life so I’m sure you’ll have excellent essays. Your GPA is also really good.</p>
<p>All the UC schools have different levels of competitiveness, which ones were you most interested in?</p>
<p>It will be easier to chance you a year from now, when you have your junior year grades and have hopefully taken the SAT or ACT plus writing.</p>
<p>UCLA and UCB are reaches
UCSD would be a high match to low reach depending on how much you improve your GPA
UCD and UCSB would be matches to high matches
Make sure you do good on the ACT/SAT</p>
