<p>I don't know the California schools well, but I'd just like to point out that an 800 on US History is 99th percentile, so I wouldn't be too sure of that unless you're really amazing at history.</p>

<p>For your chances in general, I'm a little concerned about the 2.5 GPA but otherwise you look like a strong candidate.</p>

<p>Is it really 99th percentile? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I can get that. American History absorbs in me REALLY well. </p>

<p>If not 800, most definitely 750+. I'm not just saying this as a naive SAT test taker, but I've been studying extensively along with practice tests.</p>

<p>What is your UC GPA? If it is not at a 3.0 or more, you are ineligible for UC, in which case you may apply for admission by exception (info on UC site).</p>

6

<p>Yes, I understand that. By the way I was told that admission by exception is not something you apply for, but under the discretion of an admissions officer. That is why I am quite concerned and unsure.</p>

<p>bumpppppppppp</p>

<p>hmmm if you can get that GPA up..then it would be</p>

<p>UCR: safety
UCM: safety
UCD: match
UCI: match</p>

<p>Eek...makes sure to keep your GPA up and look into the UC policies. While I'm sure there was an extenuating circumstance, colleges are not super-sympathetic to those kinds of dips.</p>

<p>You must ask to be considered for admission by exception on your application.</p>

<p>Yes, you can ask for an opinion through email, but there isn't something you do on the application. For example, there isn't a little check box that you mark or something for ABE.</p>

<p>I was actually told this by the UCD Admissions rep on the UC forum here.</p>
