<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm currently a grade 11 student in second term. I just want to ask what are my chacnes of getting into a good university like UC Berkeley with these conditions:</p>

<p>My average in term 1 is 90%, term 2 is around 88%, and I want to aim for a 94-96% for term 3 to get a 92% overall average.</p>

<p>I am currently studying for the AP exams (physics, chemistry, and ibology) and for SAT resasoning test. I also plan to take SAT II's in the future.</p>

<p>For extracurriculars, I love website design. I am the webmaster of two websites and they do earn me some income.</p>

<p>I also have some hours of volunteer, though I plan to accumulate a LOT more when I have the time in the summer.</p>

<p>I like swimming, I join clubs, play piano, etc etc (the normal details).</p>

<p>My family and I came from a rural part of china, in a small village-like city, and our family worked hard to come to Canada (where I live right now).</p>

<p>Let's say I get three 5's on AP (don't flame me for the high estimate) and over 90% for the SAT, and get around 91-92% average for the year.</p>

<p>What do you think is my chances of getting into a really good american university? If my terms are lacking, is there anything that I can do to bring it up to par?</p>

<p>Looking forward to your replies.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You will need high test scores (~2100 combined SAT) which I believe equates to 98th percentile, and good grades along with all the other stuff. I don’t think college admission counselors take AP test scores into consideration. Extra-curriculars are also important, especially if you have held a leadership position.</p>

<p>The only percentile that matters for the SAT is the middle 50% of admitted students to a given college. Check their websites or Princeton Review to figure out where your scores need to be for a given school.</p>

<p>but can anyone give me an idea of my chances of getting in with my current conditions?</p>

<p>I already know of the websites and tools, but I request more insightful estimations and tips from members of this forum.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
