<p>My weighted GPA from my first 3 years is a 4.34. My UC GPA is a 4.4, and my highest SAT is a 2050 - 620 Reading, 710 Math, 720 Writing. (Taking the December ACT, hoping for a 31+, maybe even a 32.)</p>

<p>I also attend a very rigorous and competitive private, college prep high school.</p>

<p>I'm pretty light on EC's - my only EC's are Work Grant (providing 35 hours of service to my school each year in return for the financial aid they provide me), as well as doing newspaper for 2 months junior year (I quit after trying it out), as well as being a tutor for other students at my school (just senior year, 2 hrs/wk, 10 wks).</p>

<p>I also have a weeklong immersion trip where we repaired houses affected by flooding in West Virginia, along with 25-ish community service hours. I also participated in a weeklong engineering summer camp at Santa Clara University (Educational Prep Program).</p>

<p>I applied to Berkeley, LA, Santa Barbara, Irvine, and Davis.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think your grades are fine as is, but you need more EC to cover up for your SAT. I hear that UCs don’t really look at essays, it’s all about stats.</p>

<p>What is your major??? That really makes a big difference in the UC systems. </p>

<p>Your GPA looks great but your SAT is a bit low. </p>

<p>If you are going for EE/CS for example, you will need a much higher SAT (particularly in Math) than if you are applying for PolySci. Frankly 710 is low for engineering. </p>

<p>Anyway, your chances are very good (90%) for UCI, UCSB and UCD for most majors.</p>

<p>For UCB and UCLA, your chances are still good at around 70% if you are not going for those super impacted degrees (engineering, CS, etc).</p>

<p>Your GPA is great but your SAT is below Berkeley’s median. </p>

<p>Your chances of you getting into the College of Engineering is small, so avoid applying to CoE. Getting into L&S would be possible though.</p>

5

<p>You have potential to getinto all the UCs!!! Just not Engineer because the major is so impacted (for UCLA and UCB)</p>

<p>Yes to Davis, Irvine and Santa Barbara. Maybe to UCB and UCLA…they are harder to get into. You might start at one UC and try transferring. I got into Davis with a 4.0 but I also played sports all through HS. Best of luck!</p>

<p>UCSB, UCI, UCD: Match
UCLA and UCB: High Match</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at the top two, even though your EC’s are a bit weak. What are your SAT II scores?
