Chance a Senior on top UC's?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone, I am new on this thread. I was just really nerve racked about applying to UCLA and UC B. While, it seems that my GPA and SAT's are in the 25th to 75th percentile range for UCLA, UCSD and UCB, I have doubts about my chances in all 3 schools. May anyone tell me if I stand out in an applicant pool where lots of people have higher GPA and SAT scores than me?</p>

<p>Chance threads are useless; you’ll most likely get replies like “Your ECs suck” or “■■■■ you’re in ANYWHERE YOU APPLY!!!”</p>

<p>And you’ll expose yourself to others, Jeff.</p>

<p>i think u have a chance at the most competitive schools in the states, so don’t worry. Though i would focus on your SAT’s, your ECs doesn’t sound too bad, it won’t make or break you.</p>

<p>Also, work on your college essays, as everything you’ve stated can’t really be changed.</p>

<p>All in all , i think you have a great chance at all three schools, Good luck :slight_smile: </p>

<p>p.s.
return my dumbbells please.</p>

<p>I think the dumbbells are at Ma’s place. I remember asking about it.</p>

<p>p.s.
try the ACT</p>

<p>Aim for 700+ for each of the SAT IIs and 2100 for the SAT. Most likely acceptance at UCLA otherwise.</p>

<p>Berkeley - reach
UCLA - slight reach</p>
