Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi! New here, I just wanted to see if I'm headed in the right direction for some of these colleges. :)</p>

<p>How am I looking for UCD, UCSB, UCI, UCSD, UCB, UOP, USC?</p>

<p>Academics:[ul]
[<em>] SAT I: CR 690 / Math 660 / Writing 710, 2060 total - retaking in June for hopefully 2100+
[</em>] SAT II: predicted 700 to 800 in Bio E and Math II
[<em>] Freshman UW GPA: 3.92
[</em>] Sophomore UW GPA: 3.83
[<em>] Junior UW GPA: 3.75
[</em>] UC GPA: 4.12
[<em>] AP Scores: World History (3)
[</em>] AP Classes: World History as a sophomore, Psychology/English Lang and Comp/Calculus AB as a junior (taking the AP tests for all of these this year)
[<em>] Predicted Senior Year Course Load: ERWC, AP Gov/Econ, AP Statistics, Physiology, AP Biology
[</em>] Intended Major: possibly Zoology or Wildlife Biology
[/ul]
Overall I'm a mostly A student, with the very occasional B. In my first semester junior year, though, I got a C in Calculus. Is that going to look really bad?</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/Community service:[ul]
[<em>] Member of Interact (3 yrs), CSF (3), local filmmaking group (2), all on-campus - general community service/hobbies
[</em>] Co-founder and vice president of on-campus animal welfare club (1 yr) - community service w/ animal rescue organizations

[</em>] Animal care volunteer with local wildlife center (240 hrs) - animal husbandry/medication/general care
[<em>] Docent with wildlife center - train and provide enrichment to the center's non-releasable animals, talk to public about wildlife
[</em>] Internship at local wildlife center this summer - more animal care, & more depth with the medical aspects of wildlife rehab
[li] 450+ volunteer hours total by the end of this summer[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>First let’s throw out Freshman grades, as UC GPA do not count those.
A “C” will look bad but you still have a chance.</p>

<p>UCD: Match
UCSB: Low Match
UCI: Match
UCSD: High Match
UCB: Low Reach / High Match
UOP: Low Match
USC: High Match</p>

<p>Even though colleges know that your course rigor increases every year, a downward trend is not a good sign. I’m assuming you are an instate applicant.
UCD, UCSB, UCI, UCSD, UCB, UOP, USC?</p>

<p>UCB, USC: High Match
UCSD: Match
UCI, UCSB, UCD, UOP: Low Match</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies, Dayzie and letjustin! And yes, I’m instate.</p>
