dude guys, dont give him a hard time. I would say you have a reasonable shot, but u might wanna recalculate ur gpa so its the UC gpa (like capping off after 8 semesters of AP/H classes). your SAT and esp ACT range is kinda a vague…if you can get 2000+ on SAT and as close to 30 on ACT, i think u have a pretty good shot. ECs are ok…maybe shoulda done volunteering

As for the point system…i dont think you can really calculate it yourself cus it depends on what the admissions ppl think of ur profile. like for example if they can potentially give u 500 pts for leadership, dont think “oh im president of __ so i automatically get 500”…maybe theyll give you 300 out of the possible 500. same for volunteering and hardships categories. the more u vlntr the more points u get; the tougher life u live the more “sympathy” points you get. but still the system is good referance to see what they look at. good luck
