I registered to take two sat subject tests: biology and math level 1 on june 6th. I am a junior in high school. SOme of the colleges I am interested in require 3 sat subject tests so i will take another in october or november. One of the colleges I am interested in doesn’t accept math level 1 so I was thinking of switching to math level 2. Online at collegeboard it says that changing the test type will require a fee of . But i have read that you can change the test you take on the say of the test and you don’t have to pay the fee since they give you a booklet with all the SAT II’s in it and you just pick the ones you want? Does it matter which one’s I registered for? I am definitely taking the one for bio in june?

I will apply for the class of 2015. Do I have any chance at all?

GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.5 weighted
Rank: 18/656, top 3% (may go up)
Class schedule: very rigorous
Senior courses: Spanish III, Eng IV Hon, Physics Hon, AP Stat, AP Calc
AP classes: I will take the Chem and Gov tests in May. Expecting 3 and 4.

Awards: Local writing awards, Rising Sunshine State Scholar

Extracurriculars: Academic team (captain), Math Honor Society (president), NHS (vice president), FIRST Robotics (historian/parts manager)

Service: Relay for life team, tutoring math every week grade 10, 11, and 12; mentoring children-about 80 hours

Recommendations: Pretty good

Essays: I am a great writer, so hopefully great.

SAT score: Low end, 2100 ish
ACT score: Haven’t taken, probably about 30
SAT Subject tests: I have no idea, but also on the low end I assume. (I will be taking Math II and Chem)

Lastly, I am a legacy.

Do I have any shot? I really wish Princeton had an ED.

My thoughts are if I can just raise my test scores I will be relatively competitive.

Thanks.

Thanks

Online it says you can only take one at a time. My deadline is November 1st for the college. The only available testing date is October 10th. Does anybody know if there is any way I could take the SAT II on the 10th and the Subject Tests on the Sunday (day after)…..Please help…
Didnt mean to add that II in there. just mean sat reasoning

Do I have a decent shot at an Ivy League school?
I applied to all of the Ivy Schools except for Penn State.

-sigh- I’m seriously losing hope, and I need someone’s advice.

What UCs can I get into (if any…) with the following? What are my chances? And what do I have to do to attend my dream school? (one of the good UCs)

-3.43 unweighted gpa. 3.64 weighted.
-3 AP courses total (I’m going to be a senior) – all 2s…fail…-sigh-
-4 Cs on my transcript…
-1540 on my SAT II. Haven’t taken the subject tests yet, but based on my prep class tests, I would probably average a 540 on SATs math 2 (for sats bio, I don’t know. probably just as bad)
-Basketball for 3 years. Captain for 2 (JV) I have also achieved a "Coach’s Award" (which is second to MVP…not that colleges would know…)
-Public Relations officer in American Cancer Society Club (2 years)
-Secretary in O’Ambassadors (1 year)
-Key Club for 4 years
-Journalism Internship (June-present. ongoing for at least a year)
-LA Youth staff member
-Renaissance Committee member (subset of ASB)
-Will have 100+ hours when school starts.
-CSF (one year)

…I think that’s it.
God, I’m stupid… sorry If I’m being negative, but at this point, I feel like it’s really late to change anything. My GPA is pretty much set. By the way, I’m going to be a senior in September…

The schools I want to get into:
1. UC Berkeley
2. UCLA
3. UCI
4. all other UCs. oh, and USC

I’ve actually thought about Cornell…but fat chance now..

And, if you have any tips of answering the personal essay, I’d really appreciate it.

Sorry it’s so long >.< Best answer goes to the person who can answer all these truthfully…thanks a lot.

ALSO, what is the best community college to attend if I want to transfer after wards? I want to major in medicine (for now, at least) specifically dermatology.
