<p>Do I stand a good chance at getting into these schools?</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance at Davis, Irvine, and San Diego! For UC Berkeley and UCLA though, your GPA’s a bit low. Your SAT I’s are pretty average and your SATII’s are below par in comparison to a lot of other applicants. You’re also lacking a bit in the EC category since you have only one leadership position. So, I would say UCLA and Berkeley are both reaches but the other ones are very realistic. If you write really good essays though, it could have a huge impact on your chances.</p>
<p>I have no idea how to link my “chance” post so I’m just going to leave the link lol</p>

<p>For Davis, Irvine, and San Diego you have a good shot at them. However, you UCLA and UC Berkeley it’s gonna be a stretch because your SAT II scores are pretty average and your EC’s, albeit solid, is still pretty thin. You could do yourself a favor by improving your GPA as well. Try very very hard to write a very good essay. A great essay can make you stand out from many of the people applying and will work to your advantage.</p>

<p>Why don’t you add Santa Barbara to your list? It’s a bit easier to get into than the others you have listed, and it’s still a very good school.</p>
<p>In at all except UCLA and Berkeley. If you are already a senior, there’s not much you can do about your SAT-II score (they are low for LA and Berkeley). At this point you should try to improve your GPA and write an amazing essay! Good luck.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your replies! Anyone else?</p>
<p>What’s your weighted gpa?</p>
<p>@ JustVibe My weighted GPA is a 4.46 (on a 5.0 scale)</p>
<p>Oh. Then you have a veryy good shot at ucla and berkeley. Well, what’s your rank? Their holistic admission looks at you compared to your peers.</p>
<p>Chance me back

<p>Not sure on my exact standing compared to my peers, but I do know that I’m somewhere in the top 5%</p>
<p>I think you have a very good chance at all of them esp with your weighted GPA. Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1431373-chance-top-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1431373-chance-top-schools.html</a></p>
<p>Even though your UW GPA is on the low side, the weighted offsets that. What does your course rigor look like? If you have a lot of AP and Honors, that also ameliorates the low UW. Your ECs are pretty standard, but the SAT IIs are a little low for Berkeley and LA. You have fantastic chances at all but those two, most likely in at all of those. For UCB and LA, you have a very good shot as well (albeit not as strong as the others) Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Chance back?
