<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if someone could tell me what my chances are based on my grades and test scores alone.</p>

<p>Info:
California Resident
9th grade GPA: 2.83 or something awful around that.
10th grade GPA: 3.61 unweighted 3.94 weighted
11th grade GPA: 3.72 unweighted 3.86 weighted</p>

<p>This year I’m taking the most challenging math courses offered (Calculus and Calculus Based Physics), as well as honors Calculus Based Physics, Honors Literature, and Honors Spanish 4.</p>

<p>SAT:
Math: 520
CR: 560
Writing: 680
Total: 1760
(Retaking it in November)</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:
Math Club
Rock Climbing Club
Theater Tech Department since 6th grade (rigging the shows, operating the boards, general stagecraft)
Designed and programmed an Ajax/PHP based script to allow students to check in/check out of the school and computers. </p>

<p>In addition, I have a lot of employment experience.</p>

<p>Any other questions please ask. Hoping I have a chance at this school.</p>

<p>You’ll definitely need to boost up that SAT score. Your GPA from freshman year will drag you down, but the trend of improvement is good.
I’d say USC’d be a reasonable reach assuming you boost up that test score</p>

<p>Thank you! I’m just a bad standardized test taker. Going to be studying a lot for the November test.</p>
