Applying as Anthropology major for all UCs.- Letters & Science(Undergraduate)
UC (W) GPA: 3.72 (Not so high, but average)
ACT: 31, taking again on October 24th (Aiming for a 33+).
EC: Team Captain of Varsity Cross Country (3years), Team Captain of Varsity Swimming(3 years), Took care of kids from Somalia, Ethiopia, Chad, Pakistan, Egypt (4years) UCLA Blue & Gold Scholars Program(2years), UCLA After School Program, Founder/President of Muslim Student Association(4years),Tutored immigrant students(4years), President of Desi Club (4years), and many other ECs STRONGLY RELATED TO INTENDED MAJOR. Also, I have a PHENOMENAL history for leadership! ECs are REALLY REALLY STRONG and are well connected to my intended major. Also, OUTSTANDING community work and hours, which is also related to intended major.
Awards: Varsity Letter- CrossCountry, Varsity Letter-Swimming, UCLA Blue and Gold Scholar, National Future Scientist, and Social Sciences profiency.
Total 9 AP Courses! Rigorous workload.
Took a psychology class, in which I received an A, at a community college during the summer of 11th grade. Took 2 classes the summer after 11th grade, receiving A’s on both classes.
Personal Statement (Essay) Both UC Essays- Reviewed by a student from Stanford whose major is creative writing (said it was OUTSTANDING), AP Literature teacher said “A very powerful P.S.” and UCSB admission counselor said “it is FANTASTIC and SUPER-POWERFUL”. So overall, both of my essays have been revised by great hands and are well-written. I started it really early so I can get enough time to make them perfect, just how they turned out to be.
First in family to attend college. Parents have no education at all. I never had any academic support from family.
Although my GPA might not be the ideal GPA, due to personal issues perfectly explained in the P.S, but I have an outstanding leadership history which connects perfectly to my intended major, standardized tests score ( way above average for most UCs), and phenomenal extracurriculars and community work.
Thank You for your help!
