If I have by the end of my high school career, 7 AP classes under my belt, a 1360 on the SAT, a 32 on the ACT, a 3.9 GPA(out of 4.0), and a decent extracurricular juggle, do I have a good chance of getting into a UC as a Biology Major?
You will need to calculate your 3 UC GPA’s using the linked calculator below. Please post your UC unweighted GPA, Capped weighted UC GPA which was is cited in the link on post #1 and Fully weighted UC GPA.

Below is some more UC statistical data to determine your chances. Biology is an impacted/selective major at many campuses so for the best chances, you want your stats at or above the 50th (average) percentiles. Senior grades and AP’s do not count towards your UC GPA only 10-11th grades, but your Senior year course rigor is taken into consideration.
