Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White
Location: California
School Type: Small Public (1400 students), Very uncompetitive (only about 1/2 even goes onto college, most of those are Community College. Sends around 5-10 people to Berkeley, though.)

I'm a first-generation college student.

GPA:
Un-weighted: 3.88
Weighted: 4.4
UC GPA: 4.13? I'm not 100% sure on that.
Rank: Top 4% (9 or 10 out of 357)

SAT I:
1970: 760M, 630 CR, 580W (9 essay)
This is on first try. I was actually in Berkeley at a concert (The Arcade Fire!!!) the night before the test, so I'm fairly confident to at least get at least a 2070 in October.

SAT II:
750: Math 2C
710: Biology

My class schedule is weird because our school has a block schedule.

I've taken THE most rigorous class schedule at my school. No one has taken anything more difficult.

Frosh:
Pre-Calculus H A/A
(took Pre-Calculus my Frosh year after school)

Soph
AP Stats A/A (5, one of 2 to get a 5 at school)
AP Biology B/B (4)
Digital Photo B/A
Psychology A/A
P.E. A/A
English 10H B/A
Geometry H A/A

Junior:
AP English Language B/A (3 on test)
AP US History A/A (4 on test)
AP Calculus AB A/A (5 subscore)
AP Calculus BC A/A (5)

-Psychology 101 (A)
-Art 101 (A)
-Cultural Anthropology (A)
-Calculus 101C (third-year Calc, Next year)
-Philosophy 101 (next year)

So far in Community College I've taken 16 credits with a 4.000 GPA. These should all transfer to Berkeley, so my CC counselor says I will actually start as a Sophomore in college.

Extracurriculars:
I've done about 220+ hours of community service so far.
Basketball (All four years, won awards such as MVP and academic award)
DOD Math and Science Bowl or Academic League (3 years)
World Affair Challenge (2 years, our team won best overall, i got
other awards too)
Tutoring (free, 50+ hours)
LEO Club (officer)
CSF (president)
Model UN (founder and president)

Thanks a lot for anyone who reads this all!
