<p>Hello, </p>
<p>Throughout highschool, I gave very little thought to college admissions, but now that it's senior year, I kind of wish I did. I'm a bit ignorant, so I was wondering if somebody could let me know how I stand against other students and what kind of chances I have.</p>
<p>Since I don't really know how this works, I'm just going to list everything I have.
I might be calculating my GPA incorrectly as my school doesn't weigh GPA's.
Thank you in advance. (-: </p>
<p>I'm an Asian male living in California. Haha, I'm sure that's going to hurt me. :-(
I'll also probably be applying for financial aid..</p>
<p>I'll be applying as an Econ. major, or something very similar for most schools.</p>
<p>SAT Scores-
Reasoning: 2150 [CR: 640 Math: 710 Writing: 800]
I plan on taking the US History and Math Level 2 subject tests in November,
and I'm hoping to get at least 700 in both of them, hopefully 750.</p>

<p>I don't expect my essays to be too wonderful; they'll likely be average at best, because my writing style is very bland, uninformative, and sometimes pretentious.</p>
<p>I'm fairly confident about most of the UC's, but what are my chances for LA, Berkeley, and other selective schools? Hopefully I won't be heart broken today! haha.</p>
<p>Thank you again. Have a nice day.</p>
