Chance. Chance. Chance.. please? :)

Schools to consider (ones i'm concerned about, not only applying to these): USC (My brother goes there now if that helps..), UC San Diego, UCLA, Boston College, UC Berkeley.

I'm an international student in an extremely competitive school. (The guy i'm guessing is the valedictorian will finish with 12 APs 2 IB's and a 3.9 unweighted..).

Unweighted GPA: 3.48 (UC GPA should be much higher because I got a 3.1 freshmen year 1st semester. and my AP classes are out of 4.0)

Difficulty of Classes (yet to get AP scores):

Junior Year:
AP Economics (micro/macro) (Grade: A-)
AP English Language and Composition (Grade: B)
AP Computer Science (Grade B+)
(Took AP Chinese Exam because I'm in a Chinese level equivalent to IB HL B Y1)
Honors Pre-Calc (Grade: A-)

Senior (I'm a rising senior):
AP Chemistry
AP Calc-BC
AP Psych

Total AP Exams taken (after graduation): 8
SAT: 2010 (710M 660W 640R)
SAT II:
Math IIc (retaking, got 700 first time for not studying..)
Chemistry (Yet to be taken)
Chinese (Yet to be taken, though I can say with confidence its an 800)

ECA (sorry very pathetic):
3 years of basketball (1 year of varsity, won MIP)
4 years of volleyball (will have the 4th, won MVP in 9th)
2 years of Athletic Council (Secretary of senior year)
1 H4H trip worth.. 40hrs of service i think (1 week trip)

Erm, I'm new so i'm not sure if this is sufficient enough.. but YEAH.

Help and responses will be appreciated!

Your GPA and EC's are too low for Berkeley, consider this a very high reach if you're out of state.

All the rest you have a shot at, you should probably pick 1 more safety too.

Hey thank you for your response

Well, I am a California Resident... but given recent history of Cali-Residents from my school, they've only gotten tuition for it if they got in as int'l applicants. (But I'm trying to find out whether I can apply as one now.. as shown by the Int'l Students Message Board thread).

Hehe, well that's not my school list.. Just the schools I'm really interested in. (UC SD > UCLA > USC > UC-B in ranking of interest).
