<p>hmm…anybody?</p>

<p>Hmm, imo you application is strong however youre GPA really brings you down a lot.
If it was in the 4+ range you would be a match for most of the schools. UCLA and UCB hardly accept many students below a gpa of 4.0 so that will make things hard for you.</p>

<p>Realized I made a mistake…UC GPA is actually a 3.9(again, would be even higher if the UC approved honors courses from NY)…my regular weighted is a 3.6 due to poor grades freshman year but theres a pretty big upward trend in my grades. hope this helps!</p>

<p>I agree with the above if you gpa was a little higher you would be in lower you expectations a little chance me back <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1041167-chance-me-i-will-chance-you-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1041167-chance-me-i-will-chance-you-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
