<p>Hello, my name is Eric and I am currently a junior in central California!</p>
<p>I am applying to and hope to get into the following Universities of California:</p>
<ul>
<li>Davis</li>
<li>Berkeley (Kind of a long-shot, I know)</li>
<li>LA</li>
<li>San Diego</li>
<li>Probably apply to Santa Barbara & Irvine & Miscellaneous others as well for backup</li>
</ul>
<p>My preference is pretty much in order: LA/Davis, SD, Berkeley</p>
<p>My Stats:</p>
<p>Sat: 1700 (Not going to apply using this anyways, if I have time [unlikely] over the summer I might actually study for it and take it in the Fall, but I am much better at the ACT and would rather dedicate my time to that & actual college applications.)</p>
<p>ACT: I just took it a few weeks ago, I got around 28-30 composite score on practice tests I have taken from the official study guide. I plan on studying a lot to make sure I get at least 30 during the summer.
- Reading: About mid 30's
- Math: Middle-High 20's
- English: about 30
- Science: about 30</p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests:
[I took these tests without really studying, I took a practice test on the Collegeboard site, and it is very misleading! I looked through World History because I was going to do that, and it was NOTHING like the test. Most questions were about ancient China/Americas/Middle East lol. Practice test questions were all about Europe and 1500s+ So I was forced to take U.S. History.]</p>
<p>Biology (E) - 720
Literature - 620
U.S. History - 600
(Possibly will take Math 1/2 and Biology (M) in the Fall)</p>
<p>GPA: ~3.8 unweighted, ~4.0-4.1 weighted </p>
<p>AP/Honor's Classes & AP Tests:</p>
<ul>
<li>AP Euro (Passed AP Test)</li>
<li>AP Biology (Waiting on scores but confident I passed)</li>
<li>AP English (Waiting on scores but confident I passed)</li>
<li>Honor's Chemistry</li>
<li>Honor's Precalculus</li>
</ul>
<p>Courses taking next (Senior) Year [I heard colleges like to see you are still taking hard classes which is a plus):</p>
<ul>
<li>AP Calculus A/B</li>
<li>AP Government</li>
<li>[AP?] Physics - Not sure whether my school is having it or not, literally 10 people applied and like 5 got in. At first they said it would be like a "do it on your own" and meet once a week kind of thing (For AP test, not an actual 'course'), but now it might be an actual class, no one knows lol.</li>
<li>English</li>
<li>Forensics </li>
</ul>
<p>Misc:</p>
<p>I have played on our schools tennis team since my freshmen year, and plan on continuing to my senior year. I have been playing since I was in 7th grade and got to varsity my sophomore year.</p>
<p>That is pretty much it, my E.C.'s are my weak point unfortunately, although I plan on doing community service activities through the summer, mostly because my school requires 40 hours of community service, but it also looks good since I haven't had time due to workload of school + sports to have a real job. I plan to help out at the local library and possibly the police department (I plan on going into Intelligence, so the later may be useful in the future for references).</p>
<p>If there is anything I have forgotten please inform me so that I can add it to the OP, as I may have forgotten about something in the midst of quickly typing this out.</p>
