<p>Current HS junior looking to go into the Animal Science major.
1710 SAT, 3.6 W gpa (upward trend; 3.0 1st semester of freshman year, up to a 4.33 2nd semster of junior year)
Doing 2 vet internships this summer
Volunteer at animal shelter for 6 years
President of hunger relief club, CSF treasurer, NHS for 2 years, marching band for 4 years, section leader 3 years, Anti Defamation League peer leader, numerous awards for both band leadership and musicianship, volunteer at horse rehabilitation center for almost a year...(i clearly keep myself busy)
If you got the chance, could you also chance me for Cal Poly Pomona? (My major is impacted there)
Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Admission to Davis is somewhat more numbers based than to most other schools. But you still have a chance if you write some good essays and get 1900+ on the SAT.</p>
<p>What is your UC GPA? If it is lower than 3.9, Davis would be a low reach.</p>
<p>I’m actually really confused on how that is calculated. My sophomore and junior years are by far alot stronger than my freshman…
I know you take your soph and junior years and give 4 points for an A, 3 for b, etc. And adding points for honors courses. But…what does it mean by number of semesters? Is that asking for how many classes you took?</p>
<p>Freshman year isn’t counted at UCD… so please provide us with an UCGPA that does not take freshman year into account. Capping means that you take your best 8 honors/IB/AP courses.</p>
<p>On the UC Davis website, its made clear that all 4 years of high school are considered, so I don’t believe freshman year is completely disregarded…</p>
<p>If I did this all right, my UC (weighted) GPA is a 3.94.</p>
