<p>Can you let me know where you think I'll get in? I especially like UCSB, do you think I'll get in?</p>
<p>With the UC system being as confused as it is I would say that you may be accepted by all of your UC applications providing you have been in this state for a year before admission. There could be a concern about your only taking 1 AP class prior to senior year.</p>
<p>Yes - I will have been in the state for a year before admission.
I wish I could have taken more AP classes junior year, but AP classes lasted a full year (on a block schedele) so if I took any more I would have had to cut some core classes out of my schedele (math, science, etc.) to fit them. The max you could take in a year is 4, but in that case you can only take 4 classes total. =( It was weird...hopefully the UCs won't hold that against me too much. Thanks for the opinion Mr. B.</p>
<p>thanks flopsy! That's pretty much what I was thinking....Does a "match" mean very good chance (75% +)? I'm just wondering, I've never really thought about it before.</p>
<p>Oh ok. I thought maybe the middle tiered UCs were safe matches, since my gpa, test scores tend to be above average. But I know how unpredicatable the UCs are...so that really makes sense. I hope I have some options in the spring =)</p>
