Hi, I’m currently a junior and was wondering what my chances are for UC Irvine – so far.

school: public, california
cumulative GPA (w): 3.9
cumulative GPA (uw): 3.8
ACT: 34 (going to retake)
AP Biology: 4
Korean SAT II: 800 (probably not going to send)
…also planning on taking my SAT Subject Tests for chemistry and US history in June (not 100% sure yet).

more about my GPA (if it helps):
freshman year- took all the honors classes offered (biology, english, geometry; not weighted). got all A’s, except one C+ in math for both semesters. this dropped my GPA to a 3.6 (w/uw).
sophomore year- took all the honors classes offered again, except math (world history, english) and along AP Biology. got all A’s, except one B- in science for both semesters. making my GPA 4.0 (w) and 3.8 (uw).
junior year- currently taking 2 APs (apush & aplang). first semester I got all A’s, making my GPA 4.3 (w) and 4.0 (uw).

extracurriculars:

class council (3 years)

Korean culture club (3 years)

tennis (1 year)

cross country (1 year)

track & field (2 years)

Humane Society Club (club founded this year [not by me])
…that’s it. I know, I regret not being active enough.

As for my major, I still have no idea. I’m leaning towards nursing, but I really am not sure yet! Any suggestions based off of all of this would be great if possible :).

I know UC Irvine is bit of a stretch for me, so if you have any recommendations for schools you think are fit for me please let me know! I appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance!
