Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So my GPA and SAT scores don't quite match up, but I'm still gonna go for the top UC's. </p>

<p>I'm half mexican and come from a competitive public school in CA</p>

<p>SAT
CR: 680
M: 800
WR: 710</p>

<p>SAT II's
Lit: 640
Math IIC: 760</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.33</p>

<p>Courseload: 3 AP's Junior year, 2 senior year, 1 honors class soph and senior year</p>

<p>AP Scores (I hope these make up for my poor grades a little): Bio 3, Lang/comp: 4, stat: 4</p>

<p>EC's
Basketball
tennis
leadership role in Student Athletes in the Community club
Spanish Club
Elderly Volunteer work
Canned Food Drive stuff</p>

<p>Essay's
My school counselor said one of my essay's was one of the best she'd ever read, and the other one is pretty good, so yeah</p>

<p>Please chance me for UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCSB, UCI, and Loyola Marymount</p>

<p>UCB-Reach
UCLA-Reach
UCSD-Reach
UCD/UCSB/UCI-Slight Reach/High Match</p>

<p>Good SAT but even for the mid tiers, I think a 3.3 is kind of low.</p>

<p>Where is the love?</p>

4

<p>High SAT with low GPA would make you come off as extremely lazy. I doutb you get into the higher UCs.</p>

<p>Any opinions on the midtier UC's?</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Large Reach (GPA)
UCSD: Reach (GPA)
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Slight Reach
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Match-Safe Match
Loyola Marymount: Safe Match-Safety</p>

<p>I think you got a shot at the mid tier UC's (UCI/UCSB/UCD) because of your excellent SAT. However, with your GPA, UCSD UCLA UC Berkeley are really out of the question. Shoot for mid tier UC's as slight reaches and apply to lower UC's for your match-safe match schools. Best of luck!</p>
