Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>senior chinese male who lives in state
my gpa is 3.5 uw and 3.8 w
clubs:CSF, interact, students run LA, amnesty international and chinese club
i have been on the volleyball team for 3 years
i am deciding to apply as an environmental engineer
senior classes:
english 4
Govt/econ
volleyball
physics ap
APES
Calc BC ap</p>

<p>my test scores are low.. i will be retaking the SAT(subject tests included) and ACT
my sat score is around 1620 and my subject tests are 650 for Math2 and 600 for USH and my act is 24 which are all low</p>

<p>i only took 2 Ap classes previously(Calc AB:4, APUSH:3)</p>

<p>I'm deciding to apply to UCR, UCI, UCSD CSULB, poly, san obispo</p>

<p>my dad went to CSULB, so i'm sure that i will be able to get in there, i don't know about the other schools.</p>

<p>CSULB definitely. the rest are reaches.</p>

3

<p>your gpas not that bad. if you bump up your sat, i think you could get into UCR and UCI would be a reach, but attainable with great recs/essay.</p>

<p>If you raise the SAT significantly (2000+), it could offset your lower GPA and give you a chance at UC Irvine, or, if you raise it even higher than that, at UCSD. </p>

<p>You have good chances at UCR, and you’re in at CSULB.</p>

5

<p>You guys act like UCI is on par with UCB and UCLA.</p>

<p>This kid is In-state, he has a good shot at UCI and UCSD.</p>

<p>Retake the SATs and do well to make sure you get a near definite chance of getting in.</p>

<p>You can look at the average stats for an admit right here. Most of these people are in-state CA kids as well.</p>

<p>As you can see, his stats are actually low for UCI and especially UCSD. Admissions to UCs gets tougher every year, especially with the budget cuts and over-enrollment.</p>

<p>The scores I was saying were just to be safe – of course you could have a chance with a 1900 but it would be significantly lower.</p>

7

<p>CSULB, Poly (Pomona?) and UCR - In
Rest are high reaches seeing as how you’re applying for engineering.</p>

<p>Would staying in volleyball help me get into the other colleges? I’ve been thinking about dropping it. So many seniors I know are taking 5 classes next year D:</p>
