UC CHANCES

Hi guys… So I started out freshman year average. I had a 3.67 gpa both semesters. And then coming into sophomore year I was screwed by finals and that really brought all my a-'s crashing down. I ended up first semester w/ a 3.5 gpa and 2nd semester w a 3.0 gpa. Right now my UW gpa is 3.483 and Weighted Gpa is a 4.427 With an upward and realistic trend. I hope to end high school with a 3.705 and Weighted of 4.8 or greater. My UC gpa is a 3.79. My class schedule was rigerous from the start. I took honors algebra 2, honors bio, honors English, and Ap world as a freshman. Sophomore year, I took…Honors Trig/CALC A, honors English, honors chem, APUSH. Next year my class schedule looks like this

Ap psych
Photography
Bio technical engineering (Honors credit)
Ap physics B
Calculus BC
AP LANG AND COMP
GYM

My EC’s are pretty good…

I have over 250 hours of volunteering as a sophomore. I am a Mentor to freshman as i take half of my lunch to explain to a group of freshman how to transition from middle school to high school. This is a very selective process as only 8 guys total are in the program compared to 30 girls. I am varsity debater w a state award. Most likely captain senior year. I am in NHS. I also have an internship w a congressman to teach me about politics and buissness in general because I am hoping to major in buissness and go to law school and become a corporate lawyer. I also started two clubs at the school including an Indian student association and peer leaders.

I am hoping for a 35 on my Act. I also come from one of the most competitive schools in the state (top 15)

Do I have a chance for these schools and if not what are some things I could do to improve my chances.

UT AUSTIN
UCLA
UC-Berkeley
USC
UMICH
UVIRGINIA
VANDERBILT
NORTHWESTERN (I’m from Illinois if that helps)
BROWN
CORNELL
GEORGETOWN
WAKE FOREST

Any recommendations for other schools?

thanks for your time guys!

Take Cornell and Vanderbilt off your list. They are out of your reach. Also, there is no way we can chance you without proper test scores. Don’t say “I plan to get a 35”. Things happen, so just study for now.

Come back and repost with a definite ACT score. Cannot chance on predicted score.
