<p>Hi, I'm a current upcoming senior and would appreciate it if anyone could tell me my chances for UCs. I am thinking of applying to UCLA, Irvine, Santa Cruz and Riverside. I think for me UCLA and Irvine might be a reach.</p>
<p>Academics:
Freshman Year: Straight As in Bio, Eng, Geometry, Health, Keyboarding Adv Band, and PE. Bio, Eng and Geo were GATE.
Sophomore Year: Gate Eng-A, Gate Alg 2-B, Gate World History-A,Honors Chemistry-A, Adv Band-A, French I-A. My grades were identical to second semester.
Junior Year: AP Eng Lang-A, APUSH-A, Honors Math Analysis-A (B for 2nd semester), Honors Physics-A, Adv Band-A, French 2-A. Identical grades for second semester expect for math analysis.
Senior Year: I will take the following courses: AP Eng Lit, We the People, Honors French 3, AP Calculus BC, Anatomy and Physiology Honors (but no extra point), Advanced Band
I might not be able to take band senior year due to schedule conflicts with French 3 will it hurt my chances?
Also I want to be a neurologist, and love music. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars:

I play clarinet and am a high chair, best player since Junior Year, however I wasn't picked to be section leader for next year or was the last year even though I was a better player.
