<p>Hey everyone! I applied to various CSUs including Cal Poly SLO (Early decision) and UC Davis and Irvine. </p>
<p>I came from France to the US in 2007 for my sophomore year and since then lived here. I used to go to a selective high school back in France which was ranked in the top 50 high school in France ( I was also in honor roll).</p>
<p>I have a 3.5 GPA (weighted)</p>
<p>I did not take any AP classes last year because my school doesn’t provide much for us.
However I took two AP tests last year without taking the class and got 5 on both of them (French & European History). For my senior year, I am now taking both AP Calculus and AP Chemistry. I am also currently taking 3 sciences class.</p>
<p>SAT Scores (pretty low, i know): 1670 (took it during my junior year)
SAT II: Math - 740; US History - 540; French - 800; World History - 800
ACT: 25</p>
<p>EC:
Varsity Tennis Team since Sophomore year. Captain since Junior year and playing Single 1.
Won some swimming championship as well before I came to the US.
Clubs - PAC (Pacific Asian Club) & CSF</p>
<p>More than 1000 hours of community services. I worked for a summer camp, being a junior counselor. I also taught French pronunciation in a school for adults. Worked for the Food Runners (food transportations for the needy), Glide and the Red Cross Youth.</p>
<p>Educational Program:
Caltrans Summer Engineering Institute (Won 3rd place)
Chinese School (for more than 12 years)
Music School/Conservatory (for more than 10 years) - I can play the piano (played many concerts), the bass guitar.</p>
<p>I can speak 3 languages fluently (French, English, Cantonese) and 2 not so bad (Mandarin, Spanish)
I also took classes in Latin (2 years), Ancient Greek (1 year) and German (1 year) during my high school years.</p>
<p>My standards are pretty low and I know that I don’t have a good chance to get into Cal Poly or any of the UC’s. I’m planning to major in Civil Engineering by the way.</p>
<p>What are my chances? Thank you for helping me!
