<p>hello . iam senior and i plan go to ucsd , ucr , ucsb , uci , ucd , my weight gpa is 3.75 and unweighted is 3.62 , sat score 1500 and act is 21 , i have about 100 hours community service , participate in key club , interact , and many clubs at school , can someone tell what is my chance for each of these colleges ? thanks</p>
<p>hey,
I know a bit for both UCI and UCSD so if ur writing the October SAT you’re going to need a big boost to help with your admission. Maybe memorize the writing rules: I believe there should be 21 of them; then the memorize the big words; then the easiest math formulas. U can pretty much boost the 1500 to 1700.</p>
<p>I really can’t speak in perspective for the overall percentage of students but I did around 350 hours of volunteer–related to my selected pre-major, for example worked in a pharmacy. But since application is coming up soon focus more on the SAT stuff. Try to find programs/volunteering that are short-term but has a large impact to your application. Remember they only look at the volunteer stuff for 5-15secs!</p>
<p>Hope this helps answer a part of your question</p>
<p>definitely agree with nooodles.</p>
<p>There is a fantastic section on cc for SAT prep:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/</a>
look through the sticky (top thread) and you will find various guides that are really helpful. The thing about the SAT is the more you study (and in read read read), the chances of scoring much higher won’t be as possible as doing those damn practice tests again and again. (taking practice test and reviewing that >>>> reading the sat guide; but you do want to look over it if you do poor in a section. for example, if you did bad in a math section, look over the rules, spend some time and work on some problems, etc.)</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>ok for the rest of the stuff:
GPA isn’t top notch, but nothing to worry about. Try to make that up with an amazing SAT score. Now i would also suggest taking one or two subject tests too. UCs dont need those (it’s not a req. anymore) but they will think more of you if you took a subject test. Pick the subjects you are really good at, study nad do those practice tests.</p>
<p>And finally, leadership. Participating in clubs is great, but UCSD doesn’t like that. They want leadership. I mean it’s good to be a member but all the benefits go to leaders. So try to get elected for president or vice or even better just create some clubs with you as the president (a bunch of my friends did that during application time, lol)</p>
<p>I had a 1980 on my SAT and I didn’t get into uci or ucd… you gotta boost that pretty significantly</p>
