Chance me for UCs? (mainly UCSD)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, I was looking for help figuring my chances into the UCs.</p>

<p>I am an Asian Indian (if that matters for anything) and am in the 12th grade.</p>

<p>My GPA is 3.94 UW and 4.1 W</p>

<p>I have taken three years of Spanish. The AP classes I've taken include: English Lang and Comp, Biology, and Chem. I have taken multiple Honors courses as well (including all of my english and social science classes). This year, I am taking AP Stats, AP Calc, AP Physics, AP Government, and AP Literature.</p>

<p>AP tests: 4 on Bio and 4 on Chem</p>

<p>Sat I: 1840...680 math, 580 both english sections (I am taking the ACT this month and taking the SAT again in October to improve my english scores.</p>

<p>Sat II: 720 Chem, 690 Math II, 680 Bio</p>

<p>ECs and awards: tennis 4 yrs, science olympiad 3 yrs, CSF 3 yrs, Chess Club 2 yrs, various academic awards from school acknowledging academic excellence, volunteer at local Boys and Girls Club</p>

<p>I was wondering what my chances are and, if i achieve above a 2000 on the SAT or 30+ on the ACT, what my chances are at Pomona and Claremont McKenna. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>UCSD- match. A high GPA with low SAT scores is much better than vice versa. </p>

<p>Pomona and CMC are both reaches or low reaches at the best even if you get 2000+ on your SAT because they have become very selective recently.</p>

<p>Thanks! But what about the other UCs and maybe Boston University?</p>

<p>If you can get your SAT’s up to 2000 you are a match for UCSD, UCSB, UCD, and Boston, a reach for Cal and UCLA.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>agreed with Bubbles-- Good luck!</p>

<p>Chance me back? (my thread should be floating around up there :D)</p>

<p>UCSD: match b/c your GPA is great, and GPA is by far the most important thing in UC admission decisions</p>

<p>I agree that you’re a match for UCSD even if your sat scores are low. Pomona and Claremont Mckenna have become reaches for the majority of people even if they have 2000+ sat scores and high gpas, but there’s no harm in applying and just seeing what happens. You never know.</p>
