Am I destined for University of Cal?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey, two questions from all of you who give those nice thoughtful responses!!</p>

<p>My 9th, 10th, 11th GPA are 3.5, 3,70, and 3.90 unweighted which gives me a 3.7 unweighted and 3.95 weighted.</p>

<p>My ACT was 32 composite, 34 Math, 33 Science, 32 reading, 27 English and I want to major in Chem Engineering or maybe business.</p>

<p>Question 1: Since UC GPA drops the freshman year my UC GPA is 4.13 (using their complicated formula) so will my best bet end up a UC due to the freshman year or do I still have a chance at CMU, GaTech, Tufts, JHU, kind of schools or are they out of reach?</p>

<p>Assume ECs are pretty good, not killer. 4 year varsity soccer (8 year club), couple college classes, school hoby rep, school physics award, summer engineering intern, band, some volunteering w/ web site.</p>

<p>Question 2: My school counselor is telling me to consider UCB, UCLA, UCSD as reach schools since they only accept 20-50% of the applicants. Are they really that much of a stretch for me. Maybe because engineering is more competitive?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You have a chance at Georgia Tech out of those. And UCSD is definitely in your range too. I would apply to UCB and UCLA as your reach schools because, although they might be hard for you to get into, they’re still within your range.</p>
