I need a little advice. I am currently a high school student in East Side San Jose High School. I have some questions concerning what 4year colleges in California would be a good choice for me.
Quick story about my life.
Coming from a very poverty stricken family/area I was surrounded by violence, and on top of that my parents were always fighting. Fortunately, i avoided all of these distractions, including joining gangs, drugs, etc., or I was doing well till freshmen year. For my freshmen year I averaged around a 3.0, and during my sophomore years I averaged a 2.8, or around there for both semesters. Things started to get better junior year and I knew I had to do very well. For both semesters I was active in school and I had to go to the local library everyday for at least two hours, and walk home. Through all of the hardships, I managed to average a 3.66 and 3.5 for both semesters. It is now my senior year, I have taken the SAT one and two, thanks to waivers. I have always wanted to become a pharmacist, and I believe it would make my parents very proud. It is now my senior year, I am currently taking 4 ap classes and average a 3.8. I would like to attend a UC or a CSU, and I was wondering if anyone could help me, or at least give me some tips on what I should do. Thank you.
