Chance an above average GPA and a below average SAT for top UCs?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>So I've been reading these threads sporadically over the past few years, eager to compare my stats to other people's, and now that all of my scores are finalized, I decided to make my own thread for once. I've gained a decent amount of knowledge over my time on CC so I'd be happy to chance other people back.</p>

<p>Schools:</p>

<p>UC Berkeley
UC Los Angeles
UC Davis
Cal Poly SLO
Cal Poly Pomona</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>-SAT I Score: 600 CR 590 M 610 W (1800)
-SAT II Score: 650 US History 560 Math II (thinking of not sending - should I?)
-UC GPA Unweighted: 3.85
-UC GPA Weighted and Capped: 4.25
-UC GPA Weighted and Uncapped: 4.35
-Class Rank: 40/857 (top 5%)

<p>ECs:</p>

-FBLA - 2 years (very involved, advanced to state for a competition, officer for 1 year)
-JSA - 2 years (involved)
-Math Club - 2 years (took the AMC 12 but did not advance)
-CSF - 2 years
-Working as a Sales Associate in Retail (at least 2 months)
-Working as a paid Math Tutor (continuous throughout this year)
-Currently my Community Service is VERY minimal, I have about 10 hours, but I'm looking to get more throughout this year, so I'm thinking about putting down ~100 and racking it up over the next few months</p>

<p>Personal Info:</p>

<p>-Live in California
-White/Jewish, Male, Middle Class

<p>The Ap test you did should not essentially hurt you but can not help you at all either. Its a unwritten code that you take the class and as a return for the extra gpa credit, you take the ap test. Which is why Uc’s require your to submit all AP tests despite of the score. </p>

<p>UC Berkley - High Reach
UC LA - High Reach
Cal Poly - Low Reach
Cal poly ponoma - Reach</p>

<p>You would probably best be accepted in my opinion to either of the cal polys</p>

<p>It’s likely that you’ll get in to all of those schools.

<p>UC Berkeley-low reach
UC Los Angeles-reach
UC Davis-high match
Cal Poly SLO-high match
Cal Poly Pomona- high match</p>

<p>I think if you were to improve your SAT scores you would have better chances at some of those schools.</p>

<p>feel free to chance me back: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569000-chance-me-williams-calberkley-cornell-wesleyan.html?highlight=chance+williams[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1569000-chance-me-williams-calberkley-cornell-wesleyan.html?highlight=chance+williams&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UC Berkeley: reach
UC Los Angeles: reach
UC Davis: match
Cal Poly SLO: match
Cal Poly Pomona: low match/safety</p>

6

<p>UC Berkeley: reach
UC Los Angeles: reach
UC Davis: match
Cal Poly SLO: match
Cal Poly Pomona: safety</p>

<p>my god, do any of the people above know ANYTHING about admissions to these schools. please disregard their chances, they are highly inaccurate…</p>

<p>UC Berkley and UCLA are bit of a reach because you need a higher gpa and sat score but I say the other three are definitely matches for you.</p>
