Last year my weighted GPA was 3.92 and i took AP US. Well I'm in 11th grade right now and for first quarter my GPA dropped to like 3.29 because i'm taking 3 AP classes and i'm busy with other stuff.
My class rank for 9th and 10th grade is 94%.

I'm an officer in a club and might be Pres/Vice Pres next year and a member in FBLA.

I'm also in a water sport that has some competitions outside of school and might be captain or co-cap next year.

I took my SATs for the first time and i got an 1800. I'm planning to take it 3 more times though.

So what UCs or some other good colleges could i probably get in?

I might be planning to major in business but i'm not really sure yet....

All of the UCs are great schools, but it kind of depends on what "atmosphere" you are looking for.

I go to UCLA, and I absolutely love it there! Although the acceptance rate is a bit low, it's not impossible to get into! I was a bit like yourself when I was applying to college...I had a 4.17 GPA and I was in the top 6% of my class. I took the SATs twice, and my best score was an 1830. I also took the ACTs which I got a 29 on. If you're into research, like West LA, or you just want to have a great college expericence, apply to UCLA!!!

I would also reccomend UC Santa Barbara. That was my second choice :D The city is a lot of fun and the campus is pretty, too....It's right on the beach! It is not as difficult to get into here as it was UCLA. I believe that UCSB automatically accepts all ELC students...meaning that you are in the top 4% of your class and you apply for it.

Good luck with your college apps!!!

P.S. DO NOT TAKE THE SATS MORE THAN TWICE!!!!
I actually did worse my second time. Besides, I heard that if you take it three times or more schools will just average them all together...you don't get to pick the highest one. Don't quote me on that, it's just what I heard.

will you seem like you have a talent and don't lose that. just keep getting a good grades so you can get in a big University so what i mean that all University looks on your transcripts and see your GPA so if are from 3.5 and up you are 90% of chance to get in a big University but if your grades drop and you gonna have to fill a lot of application to get into a good school. so as for right now you still have one more year of high school so i will suggest you take some of English and Math classes in any comunity college near you but you have to register there first. so after you do that. take the college test for English and Math to see what are you level points and grade and after you find out. take some short classes or begining level classes that you score on your test. so that can help you elemint your eduation by half years so you will be a head of all your friends and ready for you transfor to a big University so do that if you are not sure you are going to get in but if you keep up your grades you don't have to go to all that trouble and i don't know what college i will recommond because i don't know where you live or what city you live in. so just keep up your grades and send a lot of application so a lot of college and hopefully one of them will accept you. so good luck.

The above poster is often proper. basically had to characteristic that UC Berkeley is fairly #one million in the rustic for many of the engineering fields (electric powered engg. and comp sci, etc), tied with MIT. And we are frequently ranked greater than Stanford. Sorry, previous rivalries die not difficulty-free.

You may have a shot at Riverside or Merced at this point. You may have gotten too busy with "other stuff". Good colleges want to know that academics were your priority, and it seems that you let other things take over.

Try community college dude. You aren't that special to get into a UC.
