Hey CC,

I’m part of the 2010 class and I just want to know what my chances are getting into the schools of my choices. The thing I’m worrying about is my SAT/SATII scores because I’m a weak tester. But, here you go:


Asian, Vietnamese-American


I’m looking into:

UC Irvine (1st)

UC San Diego (REACH #1)

UC Davis (2nd)

California Polytechnic: San Luis Obispo (3rd)

San Diego State (4th)

New York University (REACH #2) [Only going to be applied to if I actually do consider Journalism

UC Santa Barbara (5th)

Test Scores:
SAT: 1500 (:/)
SATII: Won’t get scores until July but I took Biology E and English
ACT: Taking those in October

Grades:
-Weighted 10-11 GPA: 3.5
-Unweighted: 3.4
Top 30% of Class (not so good, I know)
1 AP (well, 2 if you count next year), 2 Honors (3 if you count next year)

Extra Curricular:

I’ve walked AidsWalk every year for 5 years, I’m volunteering there this year

I’m involved with my school’s Link Crew, which is a Freshman support group, aiding incoming freshman. If it helps, I’m in the Elite group (which is a year long commitment instead of just September)

I took ‘Child Development’ at my school, which holds the Pre-School every year and I was one of the group teachers…

I’m in about 4 different clubs including Key Club

I ran a webzine (fairly successful) from 2005-2007 covering a lot of well known bands and concerts and have conducted several e-mails. I also have photos up on several bands’ websites (Paramore being one of them, last time I checked)

Other stuff:

I write for my school’s newspaper and am the 2009-2010 Opinion Editor

I’m looking into majoring in Biology, Psychology, other Pre-Med sciences (this would hopefully lead me into medical school). As my username seems to state, Forensic Anthropolgy is another one of the considered careers, so I’m also looking into schools for that. NYU is my major reach school, and if I do get accepted (fatttt chance) I would go for jouralism or writing in general.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more information!
