Hello! I hear a lot of talk for people majoring in CS or Engineering, so I was curious what people thought are my chances, since I’m going in for a major in Bio! What d’ya think are my chances for UC Irvine?
9th: Biology H/English 1H/Geometry H/World History H/French 1
10th: Chemistry H/English 2H/Alg2+TrigH/AP European/French 2
11th: AP Environmental/English 3H/PreCalc H/AP US/French 3H
12th: AP Chemistry/AP Lang/AP Calc/AP Gov/AP French/Guitar
EC: Executive ASB President, Drama Club VP, NHS Secretary, Track & Field Varsity Captain, 200 Hours of Hospital Volunteer Work, and University of San Diego Microbiology Summer Intern.
I know my SAT is pretty mediocre so I’m hoping my GPA balances that out. So, yeah, thanks for taking the time to read this!
@SteezyZ Thanks! Well, all I can do now is hope for the best. I have a countdown clock til March 14, since that’s when UCI rolled out regular decisions last year, and they followed the same pattern with CHP/Regents, so yeah! Again, thanks!
Low Reach/High Match: UC GPA is probably around 3.8-3.9?? SAT score is low for Biology which is very competitive at UCI. EC’s look good and good essays will help. UCI has a tendency to accept High GPA and will be more forgiving with a lower SAT. Calculate your UC GPA to give posters a better idea.
@Gumbymom, If I did this correctly, I believe I have a 3.79, if it makes any difference. Also, thank you for your insight! :), So what does Low Reach/High Match mean exactly? I’m still new the lingo of CC because I just joined, well, literally today, haha. EDIT: I just googled it, thanks! I hope I make it.
@OneDeaged, Yeah, I should have went undeclared because I still have no clue as to what I want to do! Thanks!
Low Reach is like a 40%-50% chance of acceptance. Really depends on your essays and ECs at this point. Also, I’d say luck will take a large role as well. Good luck.
Again, thanks!
