Looking at everyone else's, I feel like crap going into Senior year next year.
GPA: 4.2 (somewhere around there) Weighted, 3.85 Unweighted
AFJROTC 3 Years going for a 4th
SAT I: 1930 (First Try)
Haven't taken AP tests yet.
Taking: APUSH
Calc AB
English 3AP
Vice President of high school Starcraft Club!
Commander of Unarmed Drill Team
On School Paper
Applying to UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD, Davis, Santa Clara, and some other schools.
Hopefully majoring to go to law school. Tell me if it sounds like I won't be getting in, because from what I've seen of my friends, I'm not going to college. Lol.

Get a 2100+ SAT score and I don't see why you wouldn't be in Davis or UCSD. Don't you have like a mock trial type of activity at your school? That would look good imo.
Santa Clara is like instant in.
|
Uhh, I wanted to break 2000 on my first try, but I fell short. We have a mock trial, but it's kind of a joke. I'm also on the school "Debate team." I really think of SD and Davis as back up schools. I'm really pressured to get into LA and Cal. Although, LA is tougher to get into, I'd rather go to Cal. Things don't look good for me right now. Lol. Damnnnn it.
|
I'm not sure if LA is harder than Cal because it seems like they are fairly evenly matched most of the time :o

GPA: Weighted 4.2 Unweighted 3.9
SAT: 1970
Various AP tests (like 7)
Played football
UC Davis: Accepted
UC San Diego: Accepted
UCLA: Denied
UC Berkeley: Denied
Going to UCSD and majoring in computer engineering!

Cal is definitely harder to get into than UCLA...I have no idea since when UCLA was considered better/harder than Cal
|
LA has more applicants usually, which is why it's tougher. It isn't necessarily better.
@ xmShake
See what I mean? It looks like I'm not going to Cal or LA. LOL. T-T
@ OneOther
I saw the stats for last year; LA has a lower percentage of admission than Cal. (At least, that's what that pamphlet said.)

Has more applicants that are not as qualified as those at Cal

Lower % of admission does not necessarily mean better :p

Last year the senior class at my school had a lot more accepted into berk than la, and most applied for both, this year's the opposite sooo take what you will out of that 
berk 80/180 and la had 57/222 for admit/applied

I never said it was better... If you look back at my post, I thought I made that clear. I just know that more people apply to UCLA, so the odds get slimmer. I know more people that got into Cal than LA too. I'm still a junior, so I'm hoping to use my extracurriculars to make myself look good, but from what I see, I don't think I'm getting into Cal or LA.

3.2-3.3 GPA (lol mb)
2190 SAT (2nd try... I could probably get 2300+ if I studied for it)
international schooling
1-2 clubs with leadership
some volunteering

Stats 5
Taking AP Calc, AP Chem, AP Euro, APES, AP Lit this year (wtf was I thinking?)

I only bothered applied to reach schools because I have two more years to reapply (so I don't expect any acceptances). I have to go to the army for two years after I graduate from HS. I'll probably be back next year applying to UCs, SCU, USC, USF, UBC, McGill, and Queens (basically Cali and Canada).

That depends on what you mean by "harder to get into." Yes the admittance percentage is lower for UCLA than CAL because more people apply to UCLA, but the difficulty of getting in depends on other applicants' qualifications. My point is that Cal applicants are often times more qualified than UCLA ones. You knowing more people who got into Cal than UCLA doesn't mean anything. I am just saying that you can't say one schools is harder to get into than another purely based on admission percentages. Best of luck though, it's too early to give up

Stanford acceptance emails came out today. A couple of people I know got rejected, one was waitlisted. Anyone else have results?
|
Really? I just asked one of my '10 friends and apparently he didn't get a notice yet.
EDIT: Uh. Apparently he had a full inbox...You're completely right. They have been released.

I don't know what's the better news. That i got accepted to santa cruz... or that a friend gave me their unused sc2 beta key earlier today.
Today truly is a day to be merry. Bring on the guinness.
Come to Santa Cruz. Let me play on your Beta.  . But seriously, community-wise UCSC beats every other UC hands down.
