Assuming you want to be a psychology major, you’d need at least a 1700-2000 for a good shot at Davis (25-30 ACT). GPA is on the lower side. Other than that, you have excellent EC’s.

What is your UC GPA? http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Average Stats for UCD admits:
Average UC GAP: 4.07 SAT: 1924

You need to aim closer to the 1900-2000 range for your SAT especially based on your low UW GPA.

Your have excellent EC’s but they will not make up for the lower than average academics.

Great Ec but as @ancap1 and @Gumbymom stated, improve possibly up to 2000+ and try increasing course rigor to improve course rigor.

Thank you! I will definitely update you on my SAT score, it should come around November 4th. Some people don’t even take the SAT and take ACT, so if I got great on that, would that be good? Also, what about my subject tests coming up?

Also, my UC GPA is 3.75 if I am doing it right.

@lolkar @Gumbymom @ancap1

Still a Low Reach due to below average SAT and GPA.

Agree with @Gumbymom; GPA in combination with that SAT score doesn’t look good.

davis gpa is over 4.0 uc gpa so 3.75 is a bit low so hopefully you have some great essays

@lolkar yes i’m very good at english and I started my essay in in medias res to make it more interesting! thanks for all the support
