GPA looks good and schedule seems rigorous enough. What is your exact UC weighted GPA since they look at 10-11 grade class schedule only?
Cal and UCLA are reaches because of the standardized scores-ACT seems better than SAT. I think your best bet UCs are Santa Barbara, Irvine, and Davis.
BU seems to be a low match since your GPA is higher than the average accepted and the ACT is in range. NYU might be a low match as well. Remember that NYU is extremely expensive and financial aid packages are not that great.
UC GPA is 4.54
The UC’s use unweighted GPA and Test scores for admission from grades 10-11.
AP scores don’t have anything to do with admission; they are for course credit.
Your ACT should be good for UCI, UCSC, UCSB, Riverside & Merced.
Do I even have a chance at Berkeley or UCLA?
Depends on your essay. Your test scores are below the norm for accepted students at LA and Berkeley.
You definitely should not lose hope for UCB and UCLA. With a strong easy you possibly get in.
Hey guys I got into everything, but got waitlisted at UCB
