Hi guys… So I started out freshman year average. I had a 3.67 gpa both semesters. And then coming into sophomore year I was screwed by finals and that really brought all my a-'s crashing down. I ended up first semester w/ a 3.5 gpa and 2nd semester w a 3.0 gpa. Right now my UW gpa is 3.483 and Weighted Gpa is a 4.427 With an upward and realistic trend. I hope to end high school with a 3.705 and Weighted of 4.8 or greater. My class schedule was rigerous from the start. I took honors algebra 2, honors bio, honors English, and Ap world as a freshman. Sophomore year, I took…Honors Trig/CALC A, honors English, honors chem, APUSH. Next year my class schedule looks like this

Ap psych
Photography
Bio technical engineering (Honors credit)
Ap physics B
Calculus BC
AP LANG AND COMP
GYM

My EC’s are pretty good…

I have over 250 hours of volunteering as a sophomore. I am a Mentor to freshman as i take half of my lunch to explain to a group of freshman how to transition from middle school to high school. This is a very selective process as only 8 guys total are in the program compared to 30 girls. I am varsity debater w a state award. Most likely captain senior year. I am in NHS. I also have an internship w a congressman to teach me about politics and buissness in general because I am hoping to major in buissness and go to law school and become a corporate lawyer. I also started two clubs at the school including an Indian student association and peer leaders.

I am hoping for a 35 on my Act. I also come from one of the most competitive schools in the state (top 15)

Do I have a chance for these schools and if not what are some things I could do to improve my chances.

UT AUSTIN
UCLA
UC-Berkeley
USC
UMICH
UVIRGINIA
VANDERBILT
NORTHWESTERN (I’m from Illinois if that helps)
BROWN
CORNELL
GEORGETOWN
WAKE FOREST

Any recommendations for other schools?

thanks for your time guys!
