<p>I am a high school junior living in Southern California and my dream college is University of California Irvine.
I am also part Japanese, German, and Dutch.
My gpa is 3.4 weighted.
I've had a very challenging life complete with the death of both parents, death of 1 of my 2 guardians, a heart problem thats caused me to have 3 open heart surgeries, an uncle with cancer. I've spent my life taking care of my grandmother, who is my guardian, and now, since my uncle was diagnosed with cancer, I take care of him as well. Because of this, I have mostly B's and C's as grades. I have taken all AP and Honors. I haven't yet taken my SAT's, but I am highly involved in school as I am a band student and on the dance team. I am also in a number of clubs such as Calculus Club, NHS, Speech/Debate, and Key Club. I am also involved in Academic Decathalon. My question is, what are my chances of getting into UCI? How far of a reach is it for me?</p>
<p>wow i’m sorry you’ve had to go through so much in life, but if you made clear everything you overcame in your application i’m sure you’ll get in. also you challenged yourself with honors and aps instead of just taking academic. best of luck you deserve it!! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1098460-chance-me-please-ill-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1098460-chance-me-please-ill-chance-back.html</a></p>
