Ec's: i've been in fbla for 3 of my 4 high school years, gonna end up playing tennis 3 out of 4 years, Math Honor Society for 2(maybe a leadership position)
Community Service:Nothing Major i would tutor an elementary student one afternoon a week last year in math(5 hours)and i worked at a craft fair(10 hours) and various other small things nothing really worth mentioning on an application
ACT: 28 (33 reading, 26 Science, 27 Math, 24 English) i expect english and math to go up at least i don't know about the other ones

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach (out of state)</p>

<p>i noticed you always post just about the UC's is there any reason to this also don't you think the UC having such a lack of African-American's and them taking a holistic aproach this year might help</p>

4

<p>wow.....ur dad went to princeton then stanf... cool</p>

<p>lol......i realise my response doesn't really help u</p>

5

<p>UCs dont factor in AA.</p>

<p>They probably only mention UCs because they know a lot about UC admissions. The UCs are about as race-blind as is possible (which is why UCB is almost 50% Asian-American now), which won't help you, and if you say you're in the top 20% of your class, that means you're not in the top 10%, yes? For an out of stater, that makes UCB and UCLA very, very unlikely.</p>

<p>okay but i'm not for sure where i am but uhh could people please chance my other schools as well and nobody heard about the new holistic approach the UC's are taking because they have reached all time lows anyways it doesn't matter but just chance other schools as well and also how much does applying early really help</p>
