<p>i was just wondering what my chances were for any of the UC's
i live in nj
gpa:3.3/4
ACT: 26 (going to retake and definitely get a better score)
ec's: piano, dance, work, volunteering, the basics
i just wanted a general idea of my chances.
thanks</p>
<p>UCB and UCLA are probably out. Don't know about the others.</p>
<p>UCI would be the best possible one with your gpa/act, but get your #'s up cuz you are out of state.</p>
<p>All of the UCs are going to be rather difficult for you, since your GPA is low (by their standards) and you're out of state, and since you don't have anything significant to make up for it (ECs, awards, scores, etc.). I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get into Santa Cruz, even. Maybe Riverside.</p>
<p>ok thanks guys. i think my gpa is gonna go up this year, probably 3.4 no difference really, but i was just wondering if that would do anything to raise my chances. and i know i'll definitely be able to bring my act scores up.
but thanks again!</p>
