Helloooo! I am a current junior in high school and I am already FREAKING out about my chances of college admission. I really want to go to a UC, as I am a current California resident, and I’m trying to prepare myself for rejection (or hopefully a chance at acceptance??). Please chance me at getting into either UCSD (which I 'm confident-ish about), UCLA (which I really want), and UC Berkeley (which is a dream TBH). Also… I would like to go into a pre-med program (probably major in Bio or Human Bio) preparing for med-school in the long term… and human biology/physiology+anatomy is my passion. Also… I really aspire to be a Cardiovascular Surgeon or Practicioner as a career in the long term.
My stats (for sophomore/ (projected) junior year:
- unweighted UC GPA: 3.88
- weighted UC GPA: 4.27
- Will most probably be a Valedictorian of my school (the cut-off is 4.2 GPA)
- I am pretty sure I am in top 10% of my class… but don’t know how to get that info
Standardized tests:
- (new) SAT: 1460 → I’m probably gonna retake in the spring
- possible NMS qualifier (I got a 1470 on the PSAT and the cut-off hasn’t been decided yet)
- Will take SAT subject tests in Biology and English in senior year

- This is what I’m most proud of. I am the founder and president of the Hygiene Helpers club at my school, which provides feminine hygiene products and menstrual education to women who are homeless, living in developing countries, and/or recently affected by disasters. Our goal is to empower women by giving them access to menstrual hygiene essentials and create a “period-positive” environment on campus and beyond. We hold bake-sales and donation drives.
- This summer I am going to India to intern at a non-profit charitable hospital. I intend to supply feminine hygiene products that my club has gathered to the women living in poverty there. They will be so happy!!
