<p>Which college are you applying to? (Letters and Science, Engineering, Chemistry, etc.)
Letters and Sciences, Chemistry</p>

<p>Recommendation (Teacher and Counselor): Good</p>

<p>Please note that as an international student from an Asian country I might have a more rigorous requirement for admittance.
I’m studying at a private school in Florida that ranks about 120 in the US. But I got the highest GPA in my junior year and that might compensate the shortcomings of my high school. I’m also the top student in the field of science and math in my school.
Besides UCB I’m applying to UCLA and UCSD as well. UCSD would be my safety. I’m unsure about my chances for UCLA and UCB.
Thanks!</p>

<p>First off I just want to say that my “accomplishments” are not my accomplishments. I am not proud of these accomplishments. I boast of these not to build up my rep, but to glorify God. It is only by the grace, favor, blessings, and strength that is found in a relationship with Christ that I am able to even be considered being admitted to UCB. Since my birth up to 4th grade I was, well to be frank, stupid. But in 4th grade God blessed me with an intelligence that I never had before. There is no explanation for such a dramatic change in my intelligence other than the active role Christ has played in my life. When you read my GPA and ACT scores please understand that I give all the glory and praise to God the Father. In complete honesty, without God’s help, I would have a 2.5 GPA with a ACT score of a 21. So here is my testament of how God has taken me, a stupid little child, and has transformed me into what I am now!</p>

Currently helping out everyday with Special Education Kids
Junior year I was an unpaid intern for State Treasurer Alexei Giannoulias’ U.S. Senate Campaign. Same year I was an unpaid intern for Governor Pat Quinn’s Re-election campaign. Also the same year I was an unpaid intern for State Senator Toi Hutchinson’s campaign.
ECs: Business Professionals of America (consecutively placed 1st in Economic Research in Regional competitions for two years. Also placed first, two years in a row, for Banking and Finance in regional competitions. Current senior member of my chapter’s executive board.)

Speech Team
Here is the best component of my application. I am the youngest Fall Fellow (Community Organizer) in the whole state of Illinois, maybe even the country, for the President’s re-election campaign.
My grades aren’t really that good, but they get better each year even though I take considerably more challenging classes each year. My ACT is decent for UC Berkeley, but my Extra-curricular activities are the best in my school. And I can guarantee you this, no other high school student in the state of Illinois has more political experience then I do. </p>

<p>Thanks be to Almighty God and may He lay His right hand upon you and open the floodgates of Heaven and drench you in His Love, Grace, Mercy, Compassion, and Blessings.</p>
