<p>GPA: 3.85</p>

<p>Classes: Took 3 APs junior year and 3 senior year, which is basically the most you can take while still fulfulling graduation requirements. Got an A or A- in all AP classes.</p>

<p>Clubs/Sports: Tennis Varsity letter 4 years, captain senior year, won two state championships. Writer for school newspaper for 2 years. Played cello, first chair in school orchestra. Part of Young Life(religious organization) for four years.</p>

<p>Volunteer/EC: Registered voters for 08 presidential race. Volunteer teaching tennis to kids. Volunteered last summer teaching English to foreign grade schoolers (I wrote my essay about that).</p>

<p>Test Scores: 34 ACT, 35 English, 33 Math, 35 Reading, 34 Science, 9 Writing. 5 on AP Calc AB, 5 on AP US, 4 on AP Spanish Language.</p>

<p>If you have any idea how I'd fare as far as admissions, any input would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Should also say that my freshman gpa was a 4.0, while sophomore year was about a 3.7 and junior year was a 3.8, just because I hear the UC schools don't look at freshman year as much.</p>

<p>anyone want to help me out?</p>

<p>If you live in Cali then you have a pretty good chance at Berkeley. Rice and USC are most likely low reaches to high matches for you. Goodluck can u please chances back</p>

4

<p>i dont live in cali unfortunately. but thanks ill look at yours</p>

5

<p>You fall right in the range for them. pretty well rounded, little light on the EC’s but if you wrote a great essay you should be fine. I would agree with invader71 and say low reach. good luck!</p>

<p>Is 3.85 GPA weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>UCs don’t use freshman year grades to calculate your GPA, but they still look at them.
I’m pretty sure you qualify for EEA and maybe ELC depending on your school so you’re more or less a shoe-in in my opinion (for Berkeley), though I could be wrong. USC’s also probably a solid match. If the 3.85 GPA is weighted, however, Berkeley and USC may be reaches. </p>

<p>As for Rice, I haven’t a clue.</p>

7

<p>What’s your class rank or approx. decile? Did you do the interviews at Rice and USC?</p>

8

<p>You have very good chances at each - I think Rice and USC are high match/low reach, and UC Berkeley is probably a high match.</p>

<p>USC is a high match. Good luck!</p>
