Hi, I am going to be a senior and I am getting worried about college applications.

In my freshman year, I got a 3.7 GPA. (Woodshop, English honors, Biology honors, Geometry, Spanish, P.E.)
In my sophomore year, I got a 3.5 GPA. (Chem Honors, English Honors, P.E., Spanish, Algebra 2, world history)
Finally, in my junior year, I got a 3.83 GPA.(Piano, Trigonometry/Pre-Cal, Journalism, AP US History, AP Lang, and AP Chem).

I only took the SAT once and I got a 1680. I am currently going to SAT prep and I'm pretty confident that I could hit an 1800. I got a 690 on the SAT II (subject test) for United States history. I also got a 700 on World history.

My extra curriculars are as follows:
I have been in MESA (Math Engineering Science Achivement) for 4 years, FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) for 2 years, Newspaper for 2 years (Sports editor and Cartoonist). At the regional and state newspaper competitions, I received 2nd and 1st place, respectively. I was in basketball for 3 years (going to be 4). I played 1 year of freshman basketball, 1 year of JV, and 1 year of varsity (about to be 2 years).

My dream schools are Occidental College, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Irvine. I'm also thinking about Boston University and NYU, but I know that money would be an issue since I'm out of state. Do I have a solid chance of getting into these schools? If not, is there anything I need to do to increase my chances of getting into them? I will be taking the SAT test 1 more time and I'm positive that I can hit a 1700-1800.

Thanks, best answer gets max points.

As UC consider weighted GPA over your sophmore and junior years, your GPA should be substantially higher than what you reported. Given your GPA and EC activitires and your existing SAT score, you still have a great shot at your three dream schools. But you need a lot higher score in order to get in better schools like NYU and BU. If you could boost your score to 1800, you might want to consider uc davis and ucsd as well. Best of luck!

Uh, Riverside is a hella grimy and espresso UC. they do no longer look at extreme college grades as a flow. you will get into Irvine and SB, do no longer comprehend approximately l. a.. I also have a three.4 gpa, utilized to Davis, SD, l. a., and Berkeley.
