I am currently a senior in HS, the thing is I messed up badly freshman year. I didn’t really have plans of going to a college during freshman year, therefore I didn’t care about my grades. This led me to my freshman GPA of 2.7. Sophomore year I picked up the pace and got a 3.6 GPA, then junior year was when I realized that I screwed up massively. I worked hard to patch up my weighted GPA and got a 4.1 GPA. So basically my upward grade trend of 2.7-3.6-4.1. I am currently aiming for a 4.4 GPA, the worst part is that I have minimal EC’s, only Key Club and Engineering Club, I am currently doing Community Service and I am aiming for 65 hours by November before the UC Deadline. I am also taking the SAT and I am aiming for 1400+ to have at least somewhat of a chance.

So, what should I do to have any chance at all for UCSD, UCI, or UCSB or should I change my motives and aim for something else.
