Chance a high SAT, low gpa-er for UCs...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>2400sat single sitting, first time, 0 qs missed (no brag)
3.64 weighted capped uc gpa
8 aps taken, five 5s three 4s
Actual uc gpa probably higher due to 3 As in Ucla summer courses
received supplement from ucsd
extracurrics- lacking, volunteering, couple sports, music, a couple clubs, nothing major</p>

<p>some possibly extenuating family circumstances explained in personal statements and supplements</p>

<p>sat 2s- 800 math 2, 760 ush, 750 lit</p>

<p>Also chances for Chicago plz, legacy, 3.69 w gpa,
thx</p>

2

<p>here’s the kicker (as if my gpa weren’t already)
Midyear grades horrible
Barely over a 3.0 weighted</p>

3

<p>no. the only thing stands out is your 2400 SAT. it is not enough to compensate.</p>

4

<p>Well my uc gpa is most likely significantly higher than 3.64 with an extra 3 As included
not to mention that I took the hardest workload possible </p>

<p>Nat’l ap scholar
Nat’l merit semi
pres scholar candidate</p>

5

<p>UCR, UCSC, UCM: Match
UCI, UCSB, UCD: Low Reach
UCSD, UCLA, UCB: Reach</p>

6

<p>so a 4.3 w uc gpa and 2400 makes them reaches</p>

7

<p>i think OP is asking for chance of University of Chicago not University of California.</p>

8

<p>Nah bothhhhhh</p>

9

<p>fyi, I don’t think I have a chance at many private schools due to mid year grades
but I was told my Berkeley chances were not so dismal…</p>

<p>bumps

11

<p>Your ECs and UC GPA are weak so I have to agree with letjustin. University of Chicago is a high reach.</p>

12

<p>Is a 4.3 weak though
I think Ucla nod Berkeley look at uncapped
so that would help me since I took lots of aps/ honors</p>

13

<p>So you said you have a 3.64 weighed UC GPA in the first post, then a 4.3 UC GPA in later posts? I assume it was a typo in the first post. </p>

<p>If you have a 4.3 weighed and a 3.64 unweighed GPA,
Cal, LA - high matches
SD - low match
All other UCs - safeties
UChic - reach</p>

14

<p>In your first post, you said you have a 3.64 w UC GPA and 3.69 w GPA. So which is it 4.3 or 3.64?</p>

15

<p>there there
I’ve taken 3 college courses at ucla and got As
these will factor into my gpa</p>

<p>idk would 4.3 be a good guess
don’t know how the UCs will calculate
they will, for sure, incorporate them into my gpa however</p>

16

<p>???

17

<p>Stop being so defensive. The other posters are right; your gpa is low and your lack of significant extracurriculars will make the schools higher up on your list (UChicago, UCB) reaches</p>

<p>This guy may be a ■■■■■. I dont usually say it, but he says he got 2400 on the SAT, but then claims 3 A’s will bring a weighed GPA (of at least eight classes already) from 3.64 to 4.3? </p>

<p>Anyone who doesn’t know that kind of math would have a hard time getting 400 on the math section.</p>

19

<p>ok hold on let me calculate
I assure u I’m not a ■■■■■</p>

20

<p>Ok my bad more like 3.7 weighted capped
The cap is at 4 classes right
I guess I was just thinking there’d be more weight since I had taken uc classes
my bad
I g</p>
