I'm trying to get into UCLA or UC Davis what should I do for my senior year?What are my chances of getting in?
I have a 4.118 (10 to 12 academic)
I’ve taken 3 AP classes (World History, Eng., and Bio) took spanish for 3 years also.
I did j.v. tennis for two years.
I’m in CSF, NHS, about to join INTERACT, and Journalism club
I’m also junior class treasurer and might do it next year too.
Next year I’m going to take AP Eng.4, AP Psych, and AP calculus
gov/econ, forensic science
I’m debating on either AP gov or anatomy and phys. (which is pretty tough at my school).
Taking the SATs next week too.
So what should I do? and what chance do i have?
O and I want to be a psychiatrist . . .for my major I’m thinking psychology or neuroscience or biology. I know premed is a prereq also.

UCs evaluate your application in context to those of your peers (at your high school), so depending on whether your high school is competitive, not competitive, urban, suburban, or rural, your academic and extracurricular profile can be impressive or mediocre.
To enhance your chance of admission, trying taking a few community college courses this summer (courses in the a-g subject areas that are UC-transferable; the grades are weighted and you receive college credits without having to take AP exams). Study and do well on your SAT/ACT (take both to optimize your chances). Take a balanced but rigorous course load for your senior year and maintain good grades, and you should be fine.
Major plays no role in your chance of admission, so feel free to declare whatever major you want (the only exception is for engineering majors).

seems like you have a pretty good chance! You are on the track:) Dont worry. In senior year, your main focus should be UC college essays!!! I have some of my friends who wrote their essays in like 2 days and dont ever do that!!!
You need at least a month to write a good essay. I took about 2 months i guess. GOod luck with college apps!!!
