<p>I currently have a 3.84 GPA, with all As in Freshman and Sophomore year, and one B (In AP Literature)and C (in Calculus) from Junior Year. Although I tried my hardest in AP literature I got a B+. I was simply unable to write to the teachers standards to receive that A. For AP Calculus, I had a teacher that taught harder than the actual test, and although I understood the content, her tricky tests which counted for 80% in the class threw me off.
***I am NOT justifying my grades, I simply want to provide a background as to why i received these grades. </p>
<p>Other than that, I have taken three APs, so far. I got a 5 on my AP Calc AB exam, 4 on my APUSH Exam, and a 3 on my AP Lit exam. </p>
<p>I am working on two more APs this year, AP Biology and AP Government in which I have As in. </p>
<p>I took the SAT twice, ending with a 2020 on my most recent exam. 660 in Writing and Critical Reading, 700 in Math. I scored a 203 on the PSAT, and was 19 points off from being a semifinalist. </p>
<p>As for my extracurricular, I have been doing Classical Indian Dance and Vocal Music since my childhood, won numerous local awards in these two categories, have recived awards in diction and speech of my mother tongue, a complicated Indian language known as Telugu, and as a result have been recommended to and participated in workshops held by poetic artists in these areas. I was also elected student body VP in my school during my sophomore year, and ended my term in the end of my junior year. As I was not reelected, I am simply continuing as a regular member of the leadership class. I was nominated for and won a scholarship to travel to Nicaragua on a basis of community service and leadership, along with academics. I went there summer 2011 for three weeks. </p>
<p>SO. I really would LOVE to attend any of the Claremont Colleges, I am currently thinking of applying to Pomona, Pitzer, Claremont McKenna and Scripps. I know that it is 4/5 of the schools, but I would just love to attend any one of the above listed due to their curriculum, overall spirit, attractiveness as a school, etc. Along with these, I am also considering applying to UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCSD, UCD as well as Cal Poly SLO.</p>
<p>How are my chances?</p>
