<ul>
<li>3.45 UC GPA (Bad grades in my early high school career hold me back, but there is clear improvement upon those grades, something UC likes)</li>
<li>26 ACT composite score</li>
<li>I've taken six APs between junior and senior year. My scores from last year were two fives and a four. </li>
<li>Great Extracurriculars (Speech and debate captain, mock trial attorney, president of another small school club, and two journalism activities in print and broadcasting which convey my interest in journalism, which I want to follow through on with my communications/media studies major).</li>
<li>Impressive essays (My personal statement is really emotional, introspective, and good at exemplifying my personal growth over the years. I'm also a pretty good writer in and of itself.)</li>
<li>Lots of personal adversity (I've had depression my whole due to having an autistic twin, watching a kid at my school kill himself my sophomore year, and by being put into a mental hospital. I really try to show how all of these experiences made me stronger and due to them I started taking school a lot more seriously my junior and senior year, which is reflected in my positive grade trend.) </li>
