Great job getting TAP certified. Political science has an average admit at UCLA of 3.7, so you are right in there.

UCs don’t care about Ws, so don’t worry about that one.

Your ECs look great, good job. As well, you story sounds compelling. Make sure to look into scholarship opportunities for former foster youth.

I’m not familiar with privates, so this advice is strictly for the UCs. Look into the TAG program at Davis: http://tag.ucdavis.edu/ which may serve as a safety for you.

For the UCs you do not need a SAT score. They don’t even ask for it on the application.

I’m also not familiar with Regents or JKCF, but my guess is that you have a pretty good shot.

Good luck!
