Hello there! I aspire to attend University of California, San Diego (UCB). I know my resumé isn’t very impressive, but I’d really appreciate it if you would chance me at this amazing university. Thanks in advance!
Overall unweighted high school GPA: 3.98 (It’s not too great because I took high school level courses in 7th and 8th grade, and I was pretty irresponsible and careless at the time, so my grades suffered.)
ACT composite score: 29
I am in the top 15% of my class, ranking at 6/39.
In terms of classes, I have taken AP World History, AP Human Geo, AP Calculus AB, AP Government, AP Computer Science, AP English III, AP U.S. History, AP Psychology, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus BC, AP English IV, and AP Biology (12 AP classes total).
Extracurriculars:
ALA Girls State - I ran for Governor and won
Quiz Bowl - 9th and 10th grade; in 9th grade, we were state runner-up champions
STEM Festival - I won 2nd place in Biology in 11th grade
National Honor Society - 10th - 12th grade
Student Council - 11th and 12th grade; I was class representative in 11th, and President in 12th
Volunteering - I’ve volunteered at hospitals during 10th - 12th grade, and acquired over 200 hours.
Science Olympiad - I’ve won three awards during 10th - 12th grade
Yearbook - 11th, 12th
National History Day - 9th, 11th, 12th; I have advanced to state competition in all three years.
Major:
I either want to major in Bioengineering or Bioengineering/Materials Science and Engineering Joint Major.
With all this, do you think I have a good chance at being accepted into UCB? I’d love to hear any opinions on this.
(Note: I am not a California resident)
