<p>soCal resident.
3.6 unweighted gpa.
top 10%.</p>
<p>i’m really worried because i repeated algebra II and earned a B both times. also freshman&sophmore year i went to a school that only let juniors&seniors take ap courses. neither of my schools have IB courses, but altogether they have about 10 AP classes. </p>
<p>at my new school mostly i’m doing make up courses. because i didn’t have gym/computers/electives at my old school. soooo my senior schedule looks like this:
trigonometry
film history
intro to computers
karate
AP comp
religion
journalism
french 3 honors</p>
<p>and im not sure if you need these but
junior year:
english 3 honors, chemistry honors, algebra II: finite, AP US history (5 on the exam), religion, typing (i don’t think that’s not what its called, but that’s what we did. o: ), speech, and karate.
sophmore year:
world history honors, english II honors, algebra II honors, biology honors, french II honors, religion.</p>
<p>SATs (i’ve only taken them once):
770 math
800 critical reading
650 writing</p>
<p>Subject Tests:
620 chem (i’m retaking this october)
750 literature</p>
<p>other things:
i’ve been playing soccer since 5th grade
national society for high school honors
national honors society
treasurer for my school’s pro life club
i won 3rd place in my school’s science fair sophomore year
300-ish hours of community service (i volunteer regularly at 2 different hospitals. also i do really random things. like church events, school events for both my school and elementary schools, twice at the special olympics, a local homeless shelter)</p>
<p>and i’m half black and asian.
my family is really poor.
=P</p>
<p>oh yeah i’ve also done theater, tennis, mock trial, multicultural club, anime club, and community service club. i haven’t done any of these for all 4 years of high school though, so i don’t know if it would be beneficial to list them…</p>

<p>Bring up my thread.</p>
<p>Daughter’s starting junior year, so probably too early to chance, but if you could let me know if I should encourage her to apply next year, and/or if you know any other UC’s that would be a match, that would be great. </p>

<p>Psychologist diagnosed nonverbal learning disability based on 38 point disparity between Verbal and Performance IQ (full scale 132, 98th %ile) - will disclosing NVLD help mitigate lousy math grades and scores (school did not provide accommodations)?</p>
<p>Would Animation Art count for the Visual/Performing Art requirement, or should she a class take Drawing or Acting? And should that be junior or senior year or would that make a difference?</p>

<p>i think its a reach califa</p>
<p>califa dont let this kinds of threads discourage you from applying …im an out of state transfer with a 3.4 GPA that got admmited to UCLA for this fall of 2008 you never know what kind of mood the admission officers are in… try try try</p>
<p>thanks everyone. Is 3D computer animation art OK for the visual/performing art requirement? School lists it as an art class, but my school’s weird - it considers acting an English class. </p>
