<p>You need to get your SAT score up above 2200. Take SAT 2s as well (subjects pertaining to your major). Make sure you show dedication I’m a particular activity, In your case probably Tae Kwon Do. Yes, you’re lacking ECs/volunteering. Try doing something involving your major, and also try to get so,e leadership positions as well.
UCLA- reach
UCB- reach
UCSB- low reach
Ucd- low reach
UCSD- low reach </p>

3

<p>Retake SAT and aim for 2200+ to be competitive for UCB and UCLA. Also take SAT 2’s in subjects that have to do with your major. </p>

<p>UCD- high match
UCSB- high match
UCSD- low reach
UCLA- reach
UCB- reach</p>

<p>UC’s are getting ■■■■ competative. ive heard of people with 2150’s getting rejected from uc davis. so here are my predications. UCD- low reach. UCSD- mid reach. UCB and UCLA - high reach. all other uc’s are match, but at the same time i think all the other uc’s are pretty ■■■■■■, so u might wanna try Cal poly SLO (if ur doing engineering), or try out of state as they are easier to get into.</p>

<p>Do not listen to the other comments. Most UCs care much more about GPA than SAT scores. You have a high GPA, so your chances at the UCs are great.</p>

<p>UCSB - safety
UCD - safety
UCSD - match
UCLA - high match
UCB - high match</p>

<p>I have a high SAT score (2300) and a low GPA (3.66 unweighted GPA, 4.29 weighted GPA, 4.00 capped UCGPA) I was rejected by UCB, UCLA, UCSD, and Cal Poly SLO. I was waitlisted by UCD and UCI. This shows that having a high SAT score does not help much. This does not show that the UCs are getting more competitive (though they probably are).</p>

<p>I agree with Mangia, UCs are more GPA centric. But I think Mangia applied to Computer Science which is a very competitive major. OP, you should be ok as long as you don’t apply to impacted majors.</p>

<p>wow dude. what happened with ur APs? but a lot of colleges dont rly consider that in the admissions process.
u should be solid for Davis and San Diego, SB should be a backup, but the others seem a shade out of reach. try to take the ACT. a lot of ppl (myself included do better on that than the SAT).
