UC application. How have u taken advantage of the educational opportunities u have had to prepare for college?

Question

The most valuable occurrence that I have gained in high school came from my academic achievement in the educational opportunities offered. Probably one of the most important opportunity that impacted me was taking AP courses. These courses had made me develop study habits necessary for confronting rigorous course work. By taking all these AP classes,I am proving to colleges that I can push myself to the limit and that I can still maintain my commitment to academic excellence.I even went to City College over the summer to take Spanish 3 and Algebra II to take advantage of my education. I learned to be successful by doing my best in receiving my education. I started to play the piano and I was able to make my way through Jazz Band 3-8. From this experience, I learned that in order to accomplish anything it has to be done through hard work and commitment. Because of my accomplishments, I have received the AP Scholar Award and will be the 1st person in my family to go to a university.

Answer 1

Okay, thanks for sharing. UC applications are unimpressed by academics nowadays. They get too many kids with 5 AP classes passed with all 5's and 4.5 GPA. They want people who worked with homeless people or wasted their time with some other non-profit. Good luck getting into Berkeley, LA, SD, Davis, or SB. They overimpacted those this year and will take a lot less students.

Answer 2

write about anything. everything you have done can apply to this question. why you decide to do well in school, why you joined this club, why you helped someone, this question is a lot more easier to answer than most people think

Answer 3

that is valuable, except for some minor grammatical mistakes. Ask one among your English/Language Arts instructors to look it over for you. those that stand out to me are : "likely between the biggest probability" must be "opportunities" and "those classes had made me" must be perhaps "have made me" or perhaps more effective "have allowed me to augment..." solid success!
