<p>I’m a junior in High School growing up in vancouver, washington. I have a 3.7 unweighted gpa and around a 4.2 or 4.3 unweighted with an 1890 SAT score that i hope to improve up to >2050. I’m currently doing a program in Washington state called Running Start, where instead of going to high school for jr and sr years you go to the local community college and take college level courses and get your AA degree alongside your high school diploma. I was treasurer of my high school last year, and will hopefully will hold a government position in my community college next year. This year i earned a varsity letter and a most improved award in football. I have around 200+ hours of volunteer service at the hospital and 100+ at my local sikh temple, where i sing and play the harmonium. I plan on doing the college debate team this year. I am a minority from Punjab, India (but i was born in the US), and i can speak 3 languages and read/write 2 (inc english). </p>

<p>My dream is UC Berkeley or UCLA. But where do you think i can make it into?</p>

<p>What can you afford? A discussion with your parents is where every college search begins. Attending Berkeley or UCLA as an OOS has to be affordable.</p>

<p>As for ‘chances’ - take a look at the Common Data Set (google it) for each school you are interested in and go to Section C to compare your stats to those of admitted students. Check out the section that includes how the school weights the various factors in their admission decision too.</p>

<p>* I am a minority from Punjab, India*</p>

<p>I don’t think that’s considered to be a minority here in the US.</p>

<p>Ask your parents how much they’ll pay for college. UCB and UCLA are OOS publics for you, so they can be expensive.</p>
