Uconn is my dream school, and I would do anything to go there. Recently I've been a little nervous about being admitted..what is the possibility that I will get in if this is my high school background:

-GPA: 3.34(4.0 scale & unweighted)-however, my GPA improved every year as I progressed from freshman to my senior year
-ACT: 22 (don't worry I am raising both of these...)
-SAT: 1610
-Top 35% of class (I attend highly ranked public school in California, and I am ranked 204 out of 644 students in my class)
-4 AP courses
-3 Honors classes
-Extracurriculars:
1. Varsity Athlete (3 letters, school record holder, and awarded San Diego Union Tribune All-Academic Team)
2. Member of National Society of High School Scholars
3. Member of Face Aids Club on high school campus
4. Very active in church community
-Courses I am taking this year:
1. Honors Pre-Calc
2. AP Environmental Science
3. Photography I-II
4. World Literature I-II
5. AP Psychology I-II
6. Economics/Civics

I also plan to take physics at a community college in the spring. And would it help if I am first generation? And I am looking to enter the nursing program..

Thanks.

Your SAT/ACT is a little low. As is your class rank. But raise your ACT/SAT score, and you have a good chance.

The SAT/ACT seems low, but being from California should help.

I don't know how selective the nursing program is, but your SAT scores are on the low end for UConn in general, which means they'll probably be really low compared to the nursing programs SAT range.

Get the scores up and your chances will improve drastically.

The nursing program is especially competitive at UConn. They emphasized that on the admissions tour. Good luck.

alright I just got back my SAT scores from last month, and I got a 1720.

Still a little low. At this point, just apply EA, and see what happens.

I agree, apply EA for sure, get some good recs, and keep ur fingers crossed.
