<p>here it is. I visited UCLA on March 22nd and I loved it! It's gorgeous and I think it might top Cal as my first choice. Anyway,</p>

<p>Caucasian female OOS, KS resident</p>

<p>SAT: 640 Math, 680 Reading, 670 Writing= 1990 <em>considering retaking</em></p>

<p>8-semester weighted UC GPA (this concerns me, but I also figured with all the classes I've taken soph and junior year my it could only be 4.25, max): 3.93</p>

Chemistry: A/B
English 10H: B/A
Micro/Macro Econ 2AP: B/A
European History AP: B/B
Algebra 2H: B/B
French 3: A/A
Weight Training/Computer App.: A/A</p>

<p>11th grade
Physics H: B/A

<p>My ECs are simply OKAY in my opinion. NHS, Girl Scouts since 1st grade, including Counselor-In-Training last summer and actual counselor job this whole summer. I'm in my school's Gay Straight Alliance, have decent volunteer at a thirft store and animal shelter even though I started them only this year, ACLU (dunno if that counts), and other little things. My essays should be pretty good, once I figure out what to write about :P</p>

<p>For some reason, even though UCLA and Berkeley admit rates are very similar, it seems like I have a better shot at UCLA. I'm not complaining. It was beautiful and the people seem pretty nice.</p>
