<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am new to this website. Seen plenty of interesting things.</p>

<p>I am planning on applying to most of the UC’s as well as USC and a few out of state.</p>

<p>I am currently a High School Junior
My GPA (Fresh, Soph, Junior) is 3.85
I know UC’s do not consider Freshman year so my GPA for them is 4.09</p>

<p>I don’t have much community service, but I will have over 100 hours of community service by the time summer is over.</p>

<p>I am in ASB right now, and play golf (though not for my school)</p>

<p>My SAT scores are 1780/2400 and 1200/2400 on the CR + M. I plan on retaking in October.</p>

<p>My ACT score is a 26.</p>

<p>I am taking the SAT II’s for the first time next Saturday.</p>

<p>I have taken (Junior Year)</p>

<p>AP Chemistry
AP US History</p>

<p>And next year, will take (Senior Year)</p>

<p>AP Statistics
AP Calculus
AP Government
AP Physics C (Mechanics)</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into a UC San Diego, UCLA, UC Berkeley, or a USC?</p>

<p>Should I aim lower?</p>

<p>I would def. try to raise your ACT or SAT. That is low for those schools. Your GPA is pretty good.</p>

<p>Work on raising your score and you should apply to some safeties</p>
