I plan on applying to: UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, and UC Santa Barbara. My friends say I shouldn't do just UC's because they're hard to get into, but I feel like if I don't get Berkeley or LA I'll get the other two for sure? Here are my stats:
I just finished my junior year in high school and will be applying for the university class of 2015. (Major in either Business, Computer Engineering, or both)
Extracurriculars:
Three years of trading in the stock market
3 years as a referee for soccer games in my city (job)
4 years of tennis for my high school team.
Tutor
Child Care (Babysitting)
Academics:
Weighted GPA of 4.54, Unweighted 3.79, and UC GPA 4.125.
SAT 2050 (I plan on retaking and am confident I can do at least 2100)
ACT haven't taken it yet, expecting 31-34
SAT subjects: Math II 760, Chemistry 720.
AP Euro Exam: 3 (first time taking an AP test, was a bit surprised)
AP Chemistry: 3
AP Statistics: 5
AP Psychology: 5
AP Physics/Calc BC/Econ/Lit haven't taken yet.
In my freshman year I had 3 honors, in my sophomore year I had 3 honors and an AP, in my junior year I had 3 AP's and 2 honors, and next year I plan on having 4 AP's and another language (Chinese 1, after 3 years of French) (all years had a max of 6 classes). My grades started low and went upward from there, so I could include when applying that it was a general motivation for success that lifted my grades gradually.My school is relatively weak in academics so I'm in about the top 6%.
Community Service Hours: 45 out of a requirement of 40.
If I SHOULD apply for more than UC's, what other schools would you suggest? Are there any other UC's you guys recommend I apply to? THANKS!!!
