Vsauce4: Servin’ up that weak sauce and still applying to Cal UCLA and Northwestern. I’d really appreciate some feedback!

UC’s do not consider legacy so info on sister will not matter.

Based on current GPA/HS Course Rigor and ACT score, your best chances would be UCM/UCR/UCSC/UCI. UCD and UCSB are definitely possible, UCSD/UCB/UCLA will be tough admits unless ACT score is bumped up to 30+.

How many AP/UC approved honors courses are available at your HS? HS course rigor seems a bit lacking. EC’s look good.

Alot. I should of taken more and that’s definitely my biggest regret.

UT Austin takes only 10% of its students from out of state. Overall your background does not appear strong enought to be be accepted.

Which UofA are you asking about? If its Alabama or Arizona you’ll be fine. At Alabama you would qualify for scholarship funds. http://scholarships.ua.edu/types/out-of-state.html
