Do I have a chance of getting in a UC or out of state university?

Question

I have a 3.77 gpa weighted (3.6 gpa in the a-e requirments in the UC) and i am a sophmore. I started doing a sport this year and I do key club and a few other clubs. I am in Girl Scouts and I work part time.
my grades:
Algebra 2 Trig B
AP European History B
AP Chemistry C
English Honors B
Japanese 2 A
Tennis A
I am thinking of going into medicine and become a doctor or surgeon.
I am trying to work harder and get better grades this semester.
Also, do they look at freshman year too?

Answer 1

UC's don't look at your freshmen year. Well, they don't count the grades in your GPA.

You'll get into a UC unless your SAT scores really stink. I doubt it (that you'll get a real bad SAT score) tho, looking at your grades. They're too high to suggest the SAT should be a huge problem.

Berkeley and UCLA may be kind of tough, but you'll definitely get into a UC somewhere.

Answer 2

colleges typically do not look at freshman year.

i would try retaking the chemistry course, if possible, and raising the grade to a B or even better an A. but you seem like you are definitely on the right track! keep up the good work but dont burn yourself out :)

Answer 3

Of course you will get into a good college/university :-).

Don't sweat it.

Most colleges require a minimum of a 3.0 GPA but they also consider other factors, such as work experience, volunteer experience, extracurricular activities, writing/critical thinking skills, and so on. You're fine. Keep up the good work
