So i applied to UCR but havet heard back from them and all my friends have been accepted. my uc gpa was a 3.45, 970 on SAT, but i have EC’s: 4yrs of recycling club- lot of community service, colorguard for 2 years, youth court-more community service, waterpolo, i have a job, and got gpa awards… i took ap euro,apush, ap lang, ap spanish lit, Honors anatomy, senior year: ap bio,ap micro/macro,ap gov, ap calc, ap lit…is there a chance i’ll get rejected from UC Riverside? does anyone know a person who had low stats like me? i applied for biochem i think
UCR has just started waitlisting applicants so chances are if you have not heard by now, then you are either waitlisted or rejected.
The odds are against you based on UC admit data but it does not mean you still have a chance at the waitlist.
Do you have any other acceptances as backups?
2018 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.40-3.79 capped weighted and not major specific:
UCR: 49%
2018 UC capped weighted GPA averages:
UCR: 3.81
2018 Data:
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:
UCR: 1130-1380
Stats alone will not get you into a UC but having lower than average stats will require some exceptional EC’s and essays to overcome a less than stellar academic peformance.
Best of luck.
