Would Barrett, The Honors College and/or UC Berkeley Accept Me?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hi everyone,

This will be my first post ever after lurking CC without an account, so here goes!

I am an aspiring doctor (hopefully!) who would like to head into anesthesiology (again, hopefully!) I am on the edge of deciding that the undergraduate college should be “less” important than the graduate school, for lack of a better term.

  1. If you could give me your two cents on that, that would be swell.

I am a rising junior in Arizona hoping to get accepted into Arizona State University’s Barrett, The Honors College and UC Berkeley, amongst a few other schools, but these two are at the top of my list.

  1. If you would take the time to read the following of my past years in high school and chance me for ASU's Barrett and UCB, I would really appreciate it:

4.0 Unweighted GPA
4.74-4.83 Weighted GPA (depending on if I have marching band that semester)
Top 5% of graduating class of about 300-350
Ranked #7 or #8 out of about 300-350
Currently working on getting my SAT score up to 2000–700 Math, 650 Writing, 650 Reading

Attended the Cesar E. Chavez Leadership Institute at ASU
National Honor Society (Year 1)
Tri-M Music Honor Society–Treasurer (Year 1)
Spoken Word Poetry Club–Founder and Captain/President (Year 1)
Speech and Debate–Co-Captain and Semi-Finalist at State Tournament in Prose Interpretation (Year 3 of participation)
Veterans Heritage Project (I love this organization with all of my heart. We interview veterans, write their story, send the story and interview to the Library of Congress in DC, publish the stories in a collective book.)–Editor-in-Chief and published author/interviewer (Year 5 of participation)
Yarn Club–Instructor (Year 2 of participation)
Key Club (Year 2)
District Honor Band Participant
HS Concert Band Member (Year 3)
Marching Band–Drum Major (Year 3–I got to do it my sophomore year and this upcoming year although it has always been strictly limited to seniors)

Korean, born in US, raised in Korea. Bilingual, almost trilingual.

Taking every honors class available, every AP class (this year I will be taking AP US History, AP Physics, AP English Lit. and Comp.), getting A’s for a 4.0 GPA.

AP European History–3 (strange how UCB takes this score but ASU does not)

I look forward to hearing what you think! Thank you so much for taking the time to read :slight_smile:
