Hi everyone. I'm applying to college this year. I am a white female who's an immigrant from Ukraine. I'm a California resident. I came to American when I was seven. My mom gets disability, but I don't know if that would help me. Just wondering... from my list of school, where do you think i would get in? Here are my stats: ACT: overall - 28. Reading - 30. Math - 29. Writing 31. English - 34. Science - 18. Not much of a science person as you can see! SAT:1850. Critical Reading - 610. Math - 600. Writing - 640. Weighted GPA 3.77 Classes for junior year: AP Psychology, Precalculus, US History Honors, Regular English, Advanced Drama, Teacher's Assistant. Classes for Senior Year: AP Calculus AB, AP English, American Democracy, Physiology, Advanced Drama. After school activities: -100+ hours of volunteer work at an elderly home. -Award from my school for excellence in writing in English. I got this at the end of Junior year and it's pretty amazing because when I came to American I didn't know one word of English and ended up getting an award for excellence in writing! -Secretary of my school's literary magazine for the third year. -Co-president of the school's jewish club for the second year. - Also did a public speaking tournament thing in 10th grade.. called forensics. I am fluent in French (since age 10), in Russian (since birth), and in English. I have passable Spanish. I took summer classes at UC Berkeley's ATDP every year since I was in the 7th grade. The summer after my freshman year, I took Geometry and got a B+, after sophomore year I took Introduction to Chemistry and got a B, and then after junior year, I took Writing for College and got an A. I'm applying to: UC Berkeley UC Davis UC San Diego UC Santa Barbara UC Santa Cruz UC Los Angeles SF State University Cal Poly San Luis Obispo UC Irvine University of Southern California. Tell me what you think. Am I wasting my time applying to some of these? What do you think my chances are? I just have been feeling so insecure lately... please be honest with me.... Read More »
