<p>Hi everyone, I'm a rising junior in high school. Every since I started my sophmore year my world literally flipped over. The amount of stress in my life increased due to stress at school and major family problems. This being said my sophmore year wasnt the exactly my year, here are my sophmore year grades</p>
<p>AP World History - C/B
Physiology- A/A
Honors English-A/A
Honors Chem- B/B
Algebra 2-B/C
Honors spanish 2- D/B</p>
<p>not exactly stellar, I know.
Im really not a bad student I just had to deal with some things at home that a kid my age just shouldnt and all of this had to happen at a very important time in my schooling career. Anyways, I am reading to start the most important year of high school (junior year) with a fabulous start. My mom and I have talked about it a lot and we both think that I can make straight A's taking 4 APs this coming school year. Sounds like a total joke but I am ready for the challenge. Please don't tell me that I simply couldnt pull it off because as much as your concern is appreciated I only need the faith of myself and the people around me. Anyways back to the point, I want to get into UCLA more than anything in this world for many factors.
- It has a great science program which I am very interested in (Biology)
- Its only 5 minutes away from my house!
- It has a great tuition fee that my family can afford for in state student
- I know my parents would really appreciate me going there because as the eldest child in my family I know that they will need my help so that fact that UCLA is so close is a major plus.
- And finally, I'm just in love with this school, I mean I can clearly picture myself as a student there.</p>
<p>I know that most of the people on here arent exactly college admissions experts but if someone here is an alumi/current student of UCLA or if anyone on here knows enough about UCLA to "chance" me it would be grealty appreciated. I'm going to post the rest of my "stats" here...</p>
<p>SAT combined: 2300
ACT: 32
Weighted UC gpa: 4.14 (if things go as planned)(by the end of junior year)
Un-weighted UC gpa: 3.57(if things go as planned)(by the end of junior year)
My high school gpa as in the gpa that my high school calculates in order to figure out rank, by the end
of the first semester of senior year will be a 3.95 (top 10%), this will be on my transcript.(btw, this is if things go as planned)
