average stats, chance a kid for UCs

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>My overall UC GPA is 3.6 (messed up sophomore year, family death)
Very rigorous schedule, at the biggest charter school in the nation
10 AP's finished by the time I graduate (4 senior year) <--- hard senior workload to compensate for GPA
By the time I apply, I will have completed five community college classes
ACT - 32 composite, 33 Math 34 Reading 33 Writing 26 Science, 10 on essay
Subject Test Math 2- 670
ECs:
- School Yearbook 11&12 - Design/Sports Editor
- Multicultural Club President 10th grade
-MedTalk Club treasurer
- Played basketball for 9 years (rec center)
- Peer tutor for school (40 hours)
- Volunteer at hospital (200+ hours)
- Job over summer
- Coached little league at local rec center for basketball over breaks
- Played the tabla (Indian musical drums) for 13 years, won several competitions
- Temple services for countless hours (every Friday/Sunday)
I know that UCLA and USB are out of my reach, however, I am still a bit optimistic about Santa Barbara, Irvine, Davis and perhaps even San Diego. What do you guys think? Any recommendations or flaws in my resume? Any other match colleges besides UC's that would suit me?
I plan on going to med school so even if I end up going to UCR or UCSC it would be fine.</p>

<p>Plus, I will be spending the summer writing some stellar UC essays, </p>

<p>UC’s are very GPA focused so a 3.6 is low for all the UC’s except UCSC and UCR. Your ACT is very competive which may help with UCSB, since they will overlook a lower GPA for a higher test score. You have good EC’s and an outstanding essay may be the extra boost you need to make some of the Low Reach/High Match schools, a Match. Intended major will also affect your chances.</p>

<p>UCD: Low Reach
UCI/UCSB: High Match
UCSC: Match
UCR: Low Match</p>

<p>Also, if I was applying as a bio major would that negatively impact my chances?</p>
