<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>If you raise your GPA just a little and get 2100+ on the SAT / 32+ on the ACT, you’ll be a competitive applicant for UC Berkeley and UCLA.</p>

<p>Thank you for responses. My main choices are UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSD, UC Davis and UCSB.</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>

<p>Those are all pretty competitive! Make sure you keep your grades up and try to score higher on the SAT and ACT like thebeatlesoftoday said.</p>

<p>I’m also part Mexican.
For one of my E.C.'s i forgot to mention i’m in my school’s art academy</p>
