<p>Hi all,
I am currently a junior in a pretty competitive school. I just wanted to know what are my chances of getting into these schools.</p>
<p>Schools I am applying to
Stanford
UC Berkeley
The Other UC's of course
(I also want to note that my dad went to Cornell, but I am not sure about the "legend" stuff)</p>
<p>Anyways, let me start off by saying that I lost my hearing due to an accident. I know this isn't going to help me in the admissions process but I just wanted to show you how hard it has been to keep up my grades, etc. I'm not an idiot to believe that I will be accepted by these schools. I don't want to go out of state because I am not sure if I will get a roommate that will play pranks on me, since I'm deaf. Also, it's going to be tough at night and during the weekends. If I, hopefully, get accepted into one of these schools, I can come home everyday (I am assuming).</p>
<p>GPA
-Freshman year
Took an accelerated class; received a 4.0 the 1st semester. The 2nd semester was when I lost my hearing, so my GPA fell down to a 3.8.
-Sophomore Year: 2 honors and 1 AP class; 1st semster was a 3.7; 2nd semester was a 3.8; on the AP exam, I got a 1 due to having an extremely bad day.
-Junior Year: 3 AP classes (our school does not have a lot of AP); Currently, I have a 4.3. The 1st semester has not ended though.
-Senior year: TBD</p>
<p>SAT scores
CR: 590
M: 640
W: 690 (12 on essay; its out of 12)
I know this score sucks, but I plan on retaking it and hopefully upping my score by 100-200 points.</p>
<p>I haven't taken any SAT II's yet. I also plan on taking the ACT soon.</p>
<p>EC Activities
- Sacred Hearts Community Service (was one of the youngest at that time to become a leader- basically I had to tell people what to do and how to do stuff. I did this throughout middle school. I had to stop since I moved far away. IDK if I can add this though to the application)
-Library volunteering (throughout middle school; Not sure if I can add this too)
-Kaiser Permanente volunteering (for 2 years during high school; I might start again if another spot opens up though)
-I also went to Stanford and "worked" in a stem cell reserach lab for 4 days in the summer. I am going to volunteer in the same place after my junior year.(if they let me, of course)</p>
