<p>Yea should shoot for Berkeley/UCLA even with the low gpa.</p>

5

<p>Any other takers? I’m really worried that my gpa is gonna break me.</p>

<p>The GPA for UCLA and UCB is way too low. UCSB is going to be a slight reach, given that the average GPA for acceptances are 3.86 (see <a href=“http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/campusprofile/cp2010.pdf[/url]”>http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/campusprofile/cp2010.pdf&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>I’m not trying to sugar coat this for you like the previous posters have done. Your EC’s aren’t anything special, but it is good that you have them. </p>

<p>So in all honesty,</p>

<p>UCSB - Slight reach
UCB - Denied
UCLA - Denied</p>

<p>I agree I think UCSB will be just a slight reach but you have a good shot. You should try applying to UCSD as well, it’s just a bit more of a reach but you have a great shot also. You’re a good candidate for CalPoly SLO as well.</p>

<p>Here is the 2010 freshman profile; about 60 percent of applicants with UC GPA’s of 3.7 got in.

<p>Try this:

<p>But OP’s GPA falls within the 3.3-3.69 range, in which 17.1% of applicants got in.</p>

<p>Not to mention that was in 2010, every year the UC’s are becoming harder to get into.</p>

10

<p>^^ Lol I love how your chancing this guy, when you asking to be chanced for the same schools…</p>

11

<p>I never asked for UCSB. I know my chances for UC schools, I just want to know what others think. Thank you for your input.</p>

12

<p>I think it’s most likely you’ll get accepted.</p>

13

<p>Obviously you know I meant LA and Cal… whatevs</p>

14

<p>That website also said that 86% of applicants that had a 31-36 ACT score got accepted. Man I’m so confused :(</p>

15

<p>Use STATFINDER</p>

<p><a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/statfinder/default.aspx[/url]”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/statfinder/default.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Then just apply! What have you got to lose?</p>

16

<p>Well of course I’m gonna apply lol. I’m just really nervous that I won’t get accepted.</p>

17

<p>Pretty early to start with the nervousness!! Do you have a safety to love?</p>

18

<p>yeah I’m pretty sure I can get into UCSC UCM and UCR.</p>

<p>But UCSB is my dream school. I’m going to apply to there as first priority since my school counselor said that first pick makes a difference. And I know that I can write a really good essay on my interest in business.</p>

19

<p>“my school counselor said that first pick makes a difference”</p>

<p>How would that work? You hit submit, and all the UC choices go in at once.</p>

<p>Oh… Well looks like she lied then. Ah well. I’ll still write a great essay.</p>
