<p>I'm going to be a Junior in high school next year and I've been really worried about colleges recently. I was wondering what I should really work on in the next 2 years so I can get into a UC, I'm particularly aiming for UCSD to major in Communication. </p>

<p>I'm also planning on starting a TOMS club at my school next year.</p>

<p>My class schedule for next year is-

<p>Your C+ is hurting you.
Also, you have too many ECs without any really guidance or passion. I would recommend finding the ones you have a really passion for and continue with only those.
With the extra time you should focus on your grades. Your goal should be straight As junior year to continue your upward trend.
Also for SAT you should get 2150+
If you do all of these you’ll definitely get into UCSD and possibly a few more UCs ie: Irvine and LA. You may also want to look at some other privates like Pitzer, Occidental, etc.
(BTW *** do you mean by letter in mock trial? is that a school thing or do you mean State/local performance nominations? Also, if you go to the SB invitational or states then I might go up against you next year depending on what role you do ie: closer, insider, pretrial etc)</p>

<p>Good luck!
Chance back?

<p>Thank you so much! That was really helpful :slight_smile: The letter in Mock Trial was just from the school because I guess I did “Varsity” last year. I think we just do local performances in Southern California, but my team wasn’t very strong last year so we didn’t get to far. Hopefully next year we’ll be better :slight_smile: and I’m planning on being on pretrial next year.</p>
