Hello. I’m a California resident attending a private high school in the San Diego area, and I’m planning to apply to all the UCs. I’m interested in majoring in economics or a related field (like business economics), but I’m also open to strategic alternatives such as math-econ or international studies if that would improve my chances of admission. My unweighted GPA is 3.7 and weighted GPA is 4.1. By the end of high school, I will have taken 7 AP classes (scored 4s and 5s on all exams) and 5 honors classes. I also took both macroeconomics and microeconomics at a local community college over the summer and earned a 4.0 in both. For extracurriculars, I’ve been involved in GeneLab for High School Students for two years, attended the UCLA Sci|Art summer program, participated in the Blue Ocean Competition with a startup idea, and have been running a finance/economics blog for over two years. Through that, I’ve written three research papers, with one being published. I’ve also had internship opportunities with real companies and received a letter of recommendation from a professional I worked with. In addition, I volunteer at a veterans hospital and participate in school clubs such as Global Issues Network and Physics Club. Since I want to make the most out of my stats, I’d really appreciate advice on which majors I should choose across the UC schools to maximize my chances of admission. Also can someone chance me? Thank you
