<p>Personally, my academic area is not strong at all. I messed up a lot. My GPA is quite interesting. I think I did fairly well freshman year, but UCs don't look at that. Sophmore year, I had a .6 increase between 1st and 2nd semester, which is a pretty big jump. Junior year, however, I basically got B's in all my classes...</p>
<p>Aside from my academic area, I think my extracurriculars/leadership is very strong. My focus was primarily in two areas - music and business. They are also what I would like to pursue in college.</p>
<p>I want to go to Berkeley, UCLA, or UCSD, but do I qualify? Personally, I do not think I can get in with my grades. I have one more chance to take the SAT's. If I got a certain score on the SATs, do you think I might have shot? What about the other UCs like Irvine, Davis, Santa Barbara</p>
<p>If not UCs, do I qualify for any of these schools: USC, NYU, Carnegie Mellon, University of Chicago, Claremont McKenna, Northwester, U of Michigan - Ann Arbor?</p>
<p>Thank you for your comments and input! =]</p>
