<p>Note: I’m still a Sophomore - just need to know whether or not I’m on the right track…</p>
<p>FRESHMAN YEAR:
Semester 1 GPA: 3.56 out of 4.3
Semester 2 GPA: 3.67 out of 4.3</p>
<p>SOPHOMORE YEAR (insofar):
Semester 1 GPA: 3.38 out of 4.3 (but we haven’t taken our exams yet, and this is just my guesstimate)
PSAT: 1843, 90th percentile (didn’t study, but I’m planning to do so as hard as possible during the summer so I can attempt to qualify for National Merit next year)</p>
<p>ECs:
- HFH member
- Roots and Shoots Chair (in charge of Animal Branch), lots of hours from various things in support of it, but generally centered around Animals (Jane Goodall watched a music video I made in support of the shelter, if that counts for anything)
- 3rd in Public Forum Debate at the Asia Pacific Activities Conference for Forensics (I intend to compete in the coming China Cup - and I suppose attending APAC is considered varsity)
- Attended Kids’ Literature Quiz in 8th grade at Oxford (received 4th place in world finals)
- AMIS Honor Choir in Singapore (auditioned choir)
- Regular helper at local animal shelter (part of Roots and Shoots, I suppose)
- Member of school newspaper for 2 years, very likely to become Editor
- Part of school Creative Arts Magazine
- Part of the high school musical every year
- Bottle recycling committee (whoo!)
- Performed at local Young Musician’s Concert (auditioned, and was paid for the effort)
- School awards for writing, musicianship and citizenship (2 are awarded for each grade level, so I think that’s fairly outstanding)
- Piano (all my life)</p>
<p>I know I’m going to have to force that GPA up - I intend to, starting with my exams coming up next week. </p>
<p>Would you guys reccommend MUN as another good EC? I think it sounds kind of boring, but people tell me it looks good.</p>
<p>Any replies would be much appreciated! </p>
<p>P.S. I’m in an interesting situation, as I’m half Singaporean half American (I hold citizenship for both), and I live in China as an international student. I’m planning on applying with California residency. :)</p>

<p>I moved before my junior year and it drastically effected my grades. I had a very hard time adjusting and thus, got all Bs and a C (I wrote about it in my essay). I live in California. I wrote(in my opinion) good college essays. Also do you think that UCSB would be easy for me? Or is that still a slight reach?</p>
