So my sophmore GPA was 3.0 barely 1st semester,4 C’s a B and an A in Tennis. 2nd Semester 2.83, 3 C’s, 2 A’s and a D in Algebra 2 Honors. (Only reason my GPA wasnt super low was because of 2 AP classes I was in)
Junior year I got a 4.3 both semesters, 4 A’s and 2 B’s,(1st semester), 5 A’s and ONE C(That i HATED in english)

As you can tell its a BIG jump, it wasnt because I was lazy or partying or anything.
…..
I was in a verbal, emotional and semi-physical abusive relationship, summer going in to sophmore and didnt get out of it until summer going into junior year and thats when it all changed, I found a voice and join my Speech and Debate team,(1st year I won over 8/9 awards and was a finalist for State Qualifiers, I plan on going to state next year) and well
I got a 1740 on my SAT’s but I’m studying all summer to get at least a mid 1800′s but shooting for 1900′s got a 25 on the ACT, SAT2 got a 710 in spanish and 560 in math2(retaking both and shooting for 750 in spanish and 700 in math)

also in total I’ve taken 4 years of Latin, President of my Latin club(11th)
MUN club officer(won 3 awards in MUN)(11th and 12th)
Clud officer for Speech and Debate(11th and 12th)
Senior Class VP(12th)
Other clubs: expanded horizons and Steps(sisters together encouraging progress and success)
RYLA winner(Rotary Youth Leadership Award) and co-founding an Interact club at my school
Over 250+ hours at a local family homeless shelter and volunteering/tutoring kids at my school during the summer for 3 summers, Organized a 3 days Thanksgiving dinner at the homeless shelter last year, handmade decorations, dinner and activities with the kids.
tennis all four years, varsity this year, MVP 2 years in a row and best volley last year, shooting for MVP this year too.
Worked for 6 months(Jan-Jun) tutoring a 7 year old boy who was thought to definately fail 1st grade and have to retake it and I help him pass, it was all because he thought he couldnt read and was a bad read and I just want to seriously touch every life in one way and I felt so accomplished doing this.

1st year generation to go to college, hispanic(dont think this helps)
I’ve taken 3 classes at a community college nearby, US History, Government, and Counseling all transferable to UC’s, going to take English 101 and Economics 101(transferable to UC’s) in fall
Taken 2 AP’s sophmore year, 3 Ap’s Junior Year and 3 Senior Year,

4 Years Science(Bio Honors, AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics)
5 Years Math(taking Calculus AB at my school through a Cal State Fullerton program and earning the transferable college credit senior year)
4 Years Latin
5 Years History(Ancient Civ, AP Euro, plus Govt, Econ, and US history all at Community COllege)
5 Years English
Public Speaking and Psyhcology
International Relations(MUN class)
GPA 3.5 weighted
UC gpa 3.46

I seriously LOVE public speaking,
I want to one day be a philanthropist.
I am a strong advocate of not letting your past define your future.
I’ve gone from literally NO self-esteem(suicidal thoughts, cutting, depression, eating disorder) to a principcal honors roll student, wanting to make SOO much change in this world from all the corruption I’ve learned in my International Relations class and always the one speaking my mind, making new friends, brightening someone’s day. Making conversations with people who look like they’re having a bad day.
I am beyond independent, everything I’ve done was for me. I got myself out of that unhealthy relationship(with some support from friends but minimal because by this time they had already given up)
My parents know nothing of that relationship or everything I went through, I’m not really close to them, actually no one really knows except my 2 best friends, my new boyfriend(who is lliterally a prince charming, polite, caring, gentleman) and my speech and debate coach who is like a mother to me, other than that no one. Partically because I do not like pity so please do not pity me. I’m a fine healthy successful young lady now and the past is all behind me but sadly colleges look at ALL my high school career.

So dream schools, UCSB, UCD, UCSC
Chances of getting in?

(:
