<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB/UCLA: Super Reach
UCSD: Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Slight Reach
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Match</p>

<p>hmm. my girlfriend had similar grades and a 3.2-2.3 gpa and she gotta full ride to UCI and also got into USC.</p>

5

<p>I go to chadwick, a prep school, if that matters.</p>

6

<p>anyone???????</p>

<p>CA Resident:</p>

<p>UC Berkeley/UCLA: Large Reach
UCSD: Large Reach/Reach
USC: Large Reach/Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Slight Reach
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Match</p>

<p>Im not sure how your girlfriend got a full ride into UCI. Im surprised with her stats she got in period. but all the more power to her for gaining admission. UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, and USC are all going to be long shots for you as all of these schools have gpa averages well above 4.0 and sat's of around 2000 or better.</p>

<p>Okay, here's what's necessary to rate you well--</p>

<p>UC only takes into account grades as a sophomore and as a junior. We need to know how many honors courses were taken (AP and IB, in particular). Also, we need to know the three SAT I scores, and the top 2 SAT II scores--as well as a list of ECs.</p>

<p>The website that discusses UC admissions is located at:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>After you give the info above--then we can tell you what your real chances are. Thanks,</p>

<p>I don't know if this is really how the cookie crumbles but from my experience on these boards the best assessment I can give you is:</p>

<p>B/LA/SD/USC: I think these would be super reaches just because numerically, you're not really in SD's historical ballpark- assuming full points for leadership, ECs, volunteer work, and extra a-g courses, you're still short academically by about 300 points (see <a href="http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html)&lt;/a>.
D/I/SB: I think these qualify as reaches as well... your GPA and SATs really kind of hobble your academic leverage and your EC data is really sparse. Track seems kind of nebulous- I mean, I don't know about your track team but mine has about 150 members. I'm not entirely sure what being a basketball manager means- I wouldn't really bank on it.
R/M/SC: These are definitely matches... I mean, I would apply to all the UCs (you never know, right?) but all three of these schools are fine places to be- SC and Merced are on the rise and Riverside has historically been a good school.</p>

<p>Assuming that you're not applying to all the UCs (you should), I think you should make a couple adjustments to your list:</p>

<p>Reach: Davis, Irvine, SB
Match: Cal Poly SLO, Riverside, SC
Safeties: Merced, SJS, SDSU</p>

<p>California really has an awesome public school system... I wouldn't be too bummed out if I were you. Obviously that doesn't mean put on the backburners and forget about improving the SATs (I think bumping your scores up about 200 on both the CR and Math sections would put you in Davis, Irvine, and SB territory), but please, please, please, please do not apply to just the top schools.</p>

<p>Thanks for that reply kingsjames. I go to a college prep high school and the counciler said (before i got Bs this last semster) to apply to all UCs, USC, NorthWestern, Rice, Miami,Some Claremonts, etc. i guess these Bs and SATS brought me down a bit. I do volunteering aswell at hospital and am getting a summer job. My brother went to an IV league and is in UCLA Med SChool now. If that matters...</p>

<p>There is no way SDSU is a safety...average GPA is a 3.6 and SAT is around 1110. But this reminds the other day when a great roman councilor told me I had to put an IV in my arm, in order to get into the league.</p>
