<p>I’m still a sophomore, but I’m curious whether I’m doing things right, and if I’m not, what I should be doing. I’m aiming to apply to all UCs and Cal Poly.

<p>UCs and Cal states should all be safeties for you. Look at Ivy’s, Stanford, Northwestern, Cal Tech, etc…</p>

3

<p>Cal poly is way too low for you. My brother just got accepted there with a 3.2 GPA with a scholarship. 1950 sat.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about your science grades. Obviously, try your best, but don’t fret! It shows that you are willing to take risks and I’ve always been told that hard class w/ a B is better than easy class w/ an A+. It shows you’re not just a slacker going for an easy A.</p>

<p>Bumping…</p>

<p>That’s cool, teaching Chinese to kids when you’re Indian.</p>

<p>Seems good match for all.</p>

7

<p>National HD is impressive.</p>

<p>Also your SATs are amazing for a sophomore.</p>

<p>Like others said, aim higher.</p>

8

<p>You’re only a sophomore, so I think we are all a little too confident w/ your chances, your class will be VERY competitive…
Teaching chinese when you’re indian sounds like a bs-able (if you need to :)) essay topic emphasizing your ethnic versatility, if you will</p>
