<p>I've been looking at UCI as a potential school to apply to after visiting it over the summer.</p>

<p>I'm a junior in high school and have about a 3.6 GPA for 10th-11th, though that should go up after this semester.</p>

<p>I took the SAT back in November without much preparation and scored a 1950, I’m retaking it again on March 10 and I'm confident I can score at least a 2100.</p>

<p>I've heard many horror stories from people applying in the UC system about how you MUST have over a 4.0 GPA and super high SAT scores. So I’m curious to know where I stand compared to students who have been admitted.</p>

<p>Also, though I forgot to put this in the title, does UCI offer any summer programs for highschool students in the areas of research or just taking classes?</p>

<p>Any info would be great. :)</p>

<p>Looks like UCI has a "Cosmos" program for Mathematics and Science.
Deadline to sign up is March 15. If you want to do any of these summer programs better start filling out apps.</p>

<p>I found a page from last year that lists the high school programs for Summer 2006. Maybe you can check them out and see which ones they are having again this year.</p>

<p>Looks like UCI only has COSMOS.</p>

<p>Thanks for the information, I'll be looking into those.</p>

<p>At UCI, any HS student with a 3.0 (?) and a teacher rec can take any lower division, non-writing class during the summer. You can request an application from the admissions/summer school and if the class is open after everyone else has registered, the you are in.</p>
