Hi everyone, thanks for dropping by (: I’m a senior and applying to colleges soon so I would really, really appreciate it if you all could chance me. I don’t want to spend $80 for a rejection letter D’:

I’m an Asian girl boo hoo Canadian citizen, permanent resident of the US (in-state student for California). I’m not the stereotypical Asian, but I can’t really portray that through my application o: So… yeah haha, here are my stats:

→ GPA (10-11th): 3.464 unweighted, 3.5 weighted D’:
→ Some Classes: Honors English, AP English, Honors Trig, 3 years Spanish, 3 years Chinese, 2 years Photography
I go to a nationally ranked public high school in California, which sucks because everyone takes like 5 APs and over 80% of the senior class has over 3.0 :X

→ SAT Score: 1810
Critical Reading 610
Math 570
Writing 630
My first score, I am retaking it this October, so hopefully it will go up at least 150 points :x

→ SAT IIs: NONE
I’m taking Chinese in November and will probably get a mid - high 700
I don’t know what to take for my second one though. I suck at Math but everyone says it’s expected that you’ll take the Math SAT. I’m in AB Calculus AP so it’ll look bad if I just take Math I and not Math II :s
Would it be okay if I just took English… or something else? Or should I just take Math and get like a 500-600 -.-?

→ CLUBS:

Shines Tutoring Club
Barely, went on and off and only went to a couple tutoring things D’: I plan on rejoining again this fall, and I’ll be more committed to it.

→ EXTRAS:

Paid internship at a law firm, I’m the file clerk (10.5 hours a week)

Volunteer at a local hospital ER (3 hours every other week :/)

Volunteer with the Peninsula Stroke Association (sort of, on and off, I’ve sort of stopped though)

On senior class council (I don’t really go to meetings… but I still get the Facebook message D: )

I suck and have no ECs

→ SCHOOLS:

UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis

San Jose State University, San Francisco State University, San Diego State University (I’m pretty positive I have a good chance at getting into SJSU & SFSU)

Bentley University (Goal)

Boston University (Goal)

Claremont McKenna

Chapman

Santa Clara University

Some other schools I haven’t thought of yet lol

→ MAJOR:
I plan on majoring in Accounting (maybe double/minor in Finance)

Is there anything I can do to increase my chances? (Besides increase my SAT score)

Please share any opinions (: I know I’m pretty average… but yeah. I just want some thoughts. Thanks so much ;D
