<p>Seems pretty decent. I think you have a good chance of getting in, the fact that you’re out of state does help. More APs would be fine but you seem to have nice ECs too. Stronger GPA would be nice, is a bit on the lower side, but your ACT score seems to be solid.</p>

<p>Anyway it appears you have a good chance of making it into UCD. Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh I also was thinking that I wanted to apply to spring or summer or winter lol anything, cause I heard that its easier to get admitted other than the fall, is that true ? … how much of a difference does it make? lol</p>

5

<p>^ I don’t think you can be admitted for anything other than fall…at least that wasn’t the case when I applied.</p>

<p>Based on what you’ve said, you have a decent shot.</p>

6

<p>If you’re going for bio, it would be a low reach. Any other major besides engineering and you would have better chances</p>

7

<p>i think it’s a pretty high reach with a uc gpa of 3.75. the 25th-75th percentile uc gpa for davis is 3.9-4.2</p>

8

<p>Would a major of animal bio make a difference in the stats ?</p>

<p>i got accepted into the UCD college of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences as undeclared/exploratory for fall 2013</p>

<p>i got a 2030 on the SAT
(690 crit read, 680 math, and 660 writing)
770 korean SAT II
630 math level 2 SAT II
670 US Hist SAT II</p>

<p>uc gpa of 3.86
took ap environmental science, apush, ap calc AB, ap psych, and ap microeconomics</p>

<p>btw ap test scores don’t matter for admissions and i did have some volunteer hours but i didn’t do as much EC as you did lol</p>

10

<p>well, i would think it would make it slightly worse for you since bio majors are impacted at UCD. but if your essays are truly genuine, then you have a good shot at UCD</p>
