<p>GPA: 4.5
UC GPA: 4.2
UW GPA: 4.0
<strong>Grade Trend</strong>: upwards from 4.2->4.4->4.6->4.8 all throughout high school, i even made a note about it on the additional comments section. I talked about how i took one extra higher-level course each year.

SAT: 590R 700M 680W -1970 total
ACT: 33E 35M 30R 31S - 32COMPOSITE (33 superscore if that matters at all)
SAT II: 750 Math II and 640 Physics
AP: AP Environmental (3) AP US History (4) AP Calc B/C (?) AP Stats (?)</p>

<p>Senior Schedule: IB Hist of Americas, AP Stats, AP Calc BC, English ERW (kinda between ap and normal), Chem Honors</p>

<p>Sports:
Varsity XC (Captain for 1 year)
Varsity Track</p>

<p>Major EC activities: President of School Finance Club</p>

<p>Other EC activities: Environmental Club, Math tutor (5hrs a week), Youth basketball coach (7hrs a week)</p>

<p>Work Exp: Grocery Store Courtesy Clerk 16 hrs a week for about a year.</p>

<p>Awards: Honor Roll, Some random math award for a class, most valuable varsity (XC), most improved varsity (tack)</p>

<p>Personal Statements for UC: both of them were written... decently, you can judge based on what they are based on
One of them was about a letter i wrote to my 8th grade science teacher who lost her husband
The other was about me losing my mom at 6 years old and how living in a 3 person family shaped my desire to become an engineer</p>

<p>Oh and by the way, intended majors are Aerospace for UCLA and Mechanical for Berkeley</p>

<p>You’re looking good, man. Good luck!!</p>

<p>bumping, sorry</p>

<p>I’d say both are reaches, but I like your chances at UCLA better than Berkeley. Your GPA (assuming it’s on a 5.0 scale) seems decent but I think the SAT is a little low for UC standards. The 750 on the math II is a bonus.<br>
UCLA- Low Reach/Reach
Berkeley- Reach</p>

<p>Chance back please!

<p>@nspoff thanks for the prediction, but I have a question: Will UCs still look at my SAT score if I didn’t report it, i only sent it. I’d much rather only have them look at my ACT…</p>

<p>I believe if you sent them both, they are able to see them both, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s good that on both tests you scored high on the math sections, which shows you’re strong in the subject of your desired field.
Best of luck!</p>

<p>UCLA: high match/low reach
UCB: low reach/reach</p>

<p>I think your improvement will help you. Best of luck

<p>well, hope i can get into one of them, id be overjoyed</p>

<p>Your SAT is a bit low, but nowadays GPA has more emphasis at UCs. And your GPA is great, especially with the upward trend. So I think your chances at LA and Cal are pretty decent, but it’s not a definite yes. Just wait it out, cross your fingers, and hope for the best :)</p>

<p>Chance back please? For UCD, UCSB, UCSC, and UCSD for English & Sociology major :)</p>

<p>Decent chance for all of them! Good luck!</p>
