Chances of getting into UCSB, UCD, UCSC?

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.
Leadership Camp at UC Berkeley this month
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,
By graduation I will have taken:
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?

(:

Ps. MUN=Model United Nations for those who dont know

I don’t get how to answer this and I can’t find it in my book?

The urban lower class, former rural workers, women, unions, and the Catholic church have emerged as new political forces in Latin America. Write an essay describing the effect each of these groups had on Latin America’s political system?

I can’t find this in the book and can only answer based off of my personal knowledge; not what I have learned from the work. I know that these groups spoke their mind enough and the government had to do something, so they come to an understanding.

I really have no idea what to put.. it is the last essay question [which thank goodness only have to be 3paragraphs!] I have to write in World History and I have been having the toughest time answering it.

Thank you for your help :)

I DON’T KNOW WAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE?

I need help deciding what career path I should take.

I want to study philosophy and film, to become a successful filmmaker and eventually a philosophy professor. But the film industry is so risky, if I fail there and am left with a philosophy degree alone getting a job is going to be a pain. Also, the school I want to go to, it’s film program SUCKS.

My second choice was studying philosophy and physics; physics is a subject I’m really good at and really love (along with philosophy) so I wouldn’t mind doing this, and careers in the physics field are really promising but I don’t think I’ll be happy doing this for the rest of my life.

And I was also thinking of doing philosophy + physics with a pre-med program, go to med school and become a doctor. Doctors have no time for themselves, their lives revolve around their careers, and due to this, medicine is crossed off the list.

I would love to be a writer but I have not the slightest clue how I can succeed in this.

I love learning languages. I speak Spanish fluently, along with English obviously, I’m teaching myself Hebrew (I’ve learned a lot) and I’m taking Italian classes next year.

Throughout my life I want to be able to speak fluently:
Hebrew
Italian
French
Arabic
Russian
Latin
Ancient Greek
and Geman

By no means will I EVER want to be a translator of anything.

I’m also Christian, and I love theology with a passion. I would never want to do something in a church though.

In summary my interests are:
Philosophy
Film
Physics
Psychology
Biology
Chemistry
Theology
Linguistics

A short explanation that I could research and/or expand on would be great!

Thank you for your help :)

What do you think are the chances of me getting accepted into a good college/university?

In my entire life I’ve only gotten detention four times. Three for being tardy and one for forgetting my homework. I’ve mainly been a good student with either A’s or B’s and now I’m in high school with three honors classes. I’m a first-generation American but my English vocabulary is very excellent along with my writing and I’m taking a class to improve my public speaking skills.

My GPA is around 3.2-3.5 which I’m hoping I can raise up to at least a 3.9 or a 3.8 by the time I finish high school. Both my parents, especially my mother, value education and unlike the school district that accepts Ds my parents deeply dislike anything lower than a B. Hiring a tutor is no problem for them and despite not being PTO members they are very active in encouraging me into completing high school so I can hopefully be in one of the nearby universities.

I volunteer at the local library every weekend, plan on joining at least three school clubs (History Club, Gay Straight Alliance, and maybe Chess), and will also try to remain in basketball for the next four years. My main goal is to improve my math skills so I can get from regular into Honors along with taking Latin to improve my future ACT/SAT scores. I get no negative remarks from teachers, my record in school and out of school is clean, I learn things quickly, never been to the principals office, and I’m bilingual. My Spanish could use some improvements in vocabulary and grammar but I’ll take care of it in my sophomore or junior year by taking one of the special courses made for people that are already Spanish speakers. It mainly takes care of writing, increasing vocabulary words, good grammer, and proper pronounciation.
I’m barely beginning 9th but I’ve heard by teachers it’s been done before. I don’t have much of a social life since I take care of my little sister while my parents work so all there is to do is study. Plus, the town joke of “working in the beaner factory” motivates me to try harder.
