I will be a senior in high school and I plan to apply to Berkeley, UCLA, Davis, and San Diego.

I am Hispanic. I have a 4.23 UC GPA and a 3.86 unweighted. My SAT's aren't great (1970), and my ACT is 29. My SAT II's: Math II(790) and US History(660). I plan on retaking the SAT reasoning, the ACT, and the US History exam. I am in the top 10% in my class.

ACT
Composite 29
English 29
Math 35
Reading 28
Science 25
and Writing I got a 9 on the essay, 28 as the score

In terms of extracurriculars, I have been playing football for 4 years, with 2 years on varsity. Our varsity team had the highest average GPA in our section and I won the Most Academic Award (for highest GPA) on that team in 2007. I am also a sectional scholar athlete and have earned my academic letter. I also played Freshman Basketball.

I have over 250 hours of community service. I volunteer weekly at my local hospital and have amassed over 150 hours there. This past summer I have been helping register voters and other volunteer work for Barack Obama's campaign. I also do other random volunteer work with the football team and with some clubs at school.

In addition, I was a baseball umpire for a youth league for 2 years. I was also a private tutor for two years, tutoring elementary/middle school kids in math. I was also a videographer for the local youth football league(for 3 years), and taped every film of every squad's game. I also was an assistant coach for one of the squads of that organization for a year.

Also, I was in a summer program for gifted high school students at UC Berkeley for four years. There I took challenging courses that I got credit for.
In school, other than football, I am a member of the MUN club and the Spanish club. I have been in the California Scholarship Foundation for 7 semesters and have won numerous school and MUN awards. I plan on starting a couple of poltical-based clubs next year.

AP Scores(so far)
5 in US History
4 in Biology
4 in European History
I will have taken a total of 8 weighted courses(with 7 AP's) by the time of my senior year.

How am I looking?
