<p>I want to major in business, and I figure UC Berkeley would be a great school for me. I figured maybe my EC’s would get me into Stanford, but i’m not counting on it.
My cumulative GPA is a 3.7 at a prestigious college prep school just outside of Los Angeles. The first 2 years I didn’t do much in school, but I kicked myself into gear, taking 3 AP’s junior year and i’m going to take 3 AP’s and one honors senior year.
Freshman year:
1st semester: 3.3 GPA, no honors or ap
2nd semester: 3.4 GPA, no honors or ap
Sophomore year:
1st semester 3.9 GPA no honors or ap
2nd semester 3.7 GPA no honors or ap
Junior year:
1st semester 4.1 GPA Honors Latin, AP Biology
2nd semester 4.2 GPA Honors Latin, AP Biology, AP Macroeconomics </p>
<p>SAT score 1850 and 1970. </p>
<p>EC’s:
I have both a clothing company and an imprinting company. The imprinting company I’ve had for 3 years and am doing very well with, 2013 I did $160,000 in sales and $35,000 in profit. The clothing company I just started up.
I run a charity with a friend to help underprivileged kids in the inner city.
Junior class president
I’m going to be ASB President Senior Year
I took a summer course on green business (Like Tesla) at UCLA before my junior year. </p>
<p>I am from a middle class white family in the San Fernando Valley.
My essay is probably going to be about how my two brother’s struggles with respective heroin and meth addictions has inspired me to work hard and make something of myself. In particular, it will be about how the weekend before finals sophomore year, I remember being in the emergency room waiting room because my oldest brother “had bugs burrowing into his skin,” and thinking to myself that I can’t end up like either of them, in their mid 20’s still living at home, relying on my parents for everything, and then ending up hallucinating because of a bad batch of meth. So I went home that night, spent the entire weekend studying for finals, kicked up by business into gear, and ran for class president. </p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
