Future: I have been trying crazy for internships at UCI, and I got waitlisted in this program called MI3 which is like Choc and UCI together. I also applied for a biotech internship and a physical therapy shadowing so I’m crossing my fingers for that.

Could you chance me for all the UCs, and could you also recommend me to safety, target and reach schools out of state?

http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1903428-faq-uc-historical-frosh-admit-rates-by-hs-gpa.html

Based on the admission rates in #24 of that thread and your estimated UC weighted-capped GPA of 3.9-4.0, for admission only, your most realistic campuses are UCSC (probably match, or high match for CS), UCR (probably low match, or match for CS), and UCM (probably low match). The other UCs are likely to be at least high match or more difficult (low reach or more difficult for CS).

Have you run the net price calculator on all of them and talked to your parents about affordability?

oh when I wrote my weighted I meant my uc weight capped gpa @ucbalumnus

I haven’t talked to them about affordability, but could you tell me for a bio major I felt my application overall is better for rigged for Bio @ucbalumnus

As mentioned above, UCSC is probably a match, UCR and UCM are probably low matches, if you are not applying for CS or other capacity limited major (commonly engineering majors). The rest would be high match or more difficult.

Your UC weighted capped GPA is usually around 0.3 higher than your unweighted 10th-11th GPA in a-g courses.

You are a competitive applicant. Your stats and ECs are pretty good. Write great essays and you could get accepted to any of these schools
