Chance for Admission to UCs

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>UC GPA: 3.52
SAT I : 1950
SAT II: IIc:700 USHistory: 750
4 APs Taken
Senior Year: Taking 4 APs</p>

<p>Extracuric- Decent
Community Service: Fair.
Essay - Good. I have good feeling about it.
Award - a few, eg. AP honor award.</p>

<p>Lately, my parents have been telling me that I won't be accepted to any UC.</p>

<p>I applied to:
UCB
UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UCD
UCSB
UCSC
UCR</p>

<p>I am expecting this:
UCB - rejected
UCLA - rejected
UCSD - rejected
UCI - accepted
UCD - accepted
UCSB - accepted
UCSC - accepted
UCR - accepted</p>

<p>Do you think this is what I should expect? Or should I apply to some safety CC/tranfer schools?</p>

<p>Btw, how does the tranfering from CC to UCs work?</p>

<p>dont count out UCSD, that's a realistic shot
UCLA could be a toss-up
...dont set your hopes up on berkeley...</p>

3

<p>UCLA and UCB are equally hard to get into</p>

4

<p>So, about UCI/Davis/SB, should I worry about not getting into those Colleges?
I guess, SD and LA depend on my luck.</p>

<p>Ok first of all YOUR TEST SCORES ARE GREAT! What did you write about in your personal statements? If you had a great topic, and something that sets you apart from other applicants i wouldnt rule out the top UC's. I mean just based on your stats...yes UCLA/UCB are reaches but if there is something that can push you over it would definitely be your personal statements. Hope they were great!</p>

<p>eioxx:</p>

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

7

<p>Am i pretty safe for UCI/UCD?
bump</p>

<p>I would have to say you're a match for UCI/UCD, not a guarantee safety. Your UC GPA is below average for UCI and UCD. I am not sure about UCD, but the average UC GPA for UCI is around 3.9. However, your test scores are above average which balances you out.</p>

<p>If you want a really accurate estimate of your chances for UC Davis, plug in your numbers into this formula:</p>

<p><a href="http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_selection_process.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_selection_process.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>What do the scores that come out of that thing even mean?</p>

11

<p>You add up all your scores, and get a total composite score which includes your GPA, test scores, ECs, etc. I think they have a predetermined score: if you are higher than the number, you are in. If you are lower than the number, you are rejected.</p>

12

<p>The website doesn't really provide a 'cutoff' score....which seems kind of pointless unless you just wish to know how your chances are calculated instead of knowing if you got a good shot or not.</p>

13

<p>I'm sure a total 8500 will be good enough since it's perfect sat and perfect gpa.</p>

14

<p>When u mean my test scores above average, do you mean my SATI or SATII scores? And what is the average SAT for UCI/UCD/UCSD/UCLA etc(if anyone knows).</p>

15

<p>UCB - rejected
UCLA - rejected
UCSD - accepted(slight reach)
UCI - accepted
UCD - accepted
UCSB - accepted
UCSC - accepted
UCR - accepted</p>

16

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

17

<p>How often to people get accepted into their match/slight reach/reach schools? Or should I say, how often does one get rejected from match schools?</p>

18

<p>By the way, the comprehensive review for Davis and UCSD, how many points is good? According to the davis site, I should have around 8000(aim for 8500?), give or take. What about UCSD?</p>

19

<p>eioxx-
your UC GPA is 3.5, Berkeley's average is 4.24, your essays are also slightly lower than their average... it is a big reach</p>

20

<p>Well im not aiming for UCB. And what do you mean my essays are below their average?</p>

<p>Refer to my above two posts: bump.</p>
