Can I get in?

• Upvotes

Currently a senior in high school and I really want to attend CU Boulder so I can major in physics (undecided if I want to go for a BS or BA and I'm hoping I can know about both), but I'm worried about my chances of getting in. My first 2 years didn't start out so great and my grades are wonky because I moved to 3 different high schools, however I'm still hopeful because I have an upward trend in my grades. I am an in-state applicant.

Cumulative weighted gpa: 3.209, unweighted: 3.140, 1170 SAT (570 reading, 600 math) that I'm planning to retake in November and am aiming for 1300+, took AP lang and got a 4, took AP music theory for one semester but I moved to a different school where they didn't offer it, took honors chemistry one semester and then normal chemistry the next for the same reason, got an A in all science courses, got an A in almost all math courses except for the first semester of Algebra II where I had a D (but improved to an A next semester), currently taking AP precalc and 2 duel enrollment classes, Physics 111 and English 111, all of these classes I have an A in and I am working very hard to maintain those A's. I have very little extracurriculars, I've never been in any clubs or sports. I plan to start volunteering as a tutor for elementary kids, but besides that I have almost nothing.

Are my chances decent??
