3.3 GPA 2080 SAT UC Santa Cruz

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello, I am wondering on my chances on being accepted into UCSC with a 3.3 weighted GPA that includes various AP/Honors courses. I also have a 2080 SAT score, with 660s in both reading and writing, and a 760 in math. I know my SAT score is on the higher side for one with my GPA, which I'm hoping is my advantage in. The AP/Honors courses I've taken are Honors English (u/w), AP World History, AP Spanish 4, and Honors Pre-Calculus (weighted for UC's). Currently as a senior I am enrolled in AP Biology and AP Statistics. Thanks for your speculations!</p>

<p>And how did you do on the AP tests you’ve taken?</p>

<p>Well… I’m somewhat of a procrastinator which is why I have trouble getting a higher GPA. I scored a 3 in AP World but unfortunately a 2 for AP Spanish 4. I have heard that AP exam scores don’t even play a factor in the admissions process, and that failing one just disqualifies me for earning college credit for the course.</p>

<p>I don’t know how much they affect it, but I just wanted a clearer picture.</p>

<p>I believe it would be possible for you to be accepted, though.</p>

<p>It’s gonna be tough to get in with that GPA, but you still have a shot (especially if you apply for an uncompetitive major)</p>
