<p>Your Level 138 in RuneScape makes you a lock!</p>

3

<p>Troll.</p>

<p>There are people who ARE actually worried about getting into schools who have acceptance rates along the lines of Merced's. Cut them some slack.</p>

4

<p>Um. don't worry about a thing. Anyone above a 3.0 gets (well,almost all). I'm guessing you could probably even get the regents scholar thing. You have a good chance at UCLA,UCB,and UCSD. It's good that you want to go Merced because of its newness and small size. I have a feeling that you're pre-med?lol</p>

5

<p>I honestly have no idea what I want to do. I just want to go to a UC, and I heard this one is the newest. I don't know much about College at all...</p>

<p>P.S. What is a troll?</p>

6

<p>Because of your gpa and SAT I and SAT II, if I were you, I would aim for UC's such as UCLA or UCSD.</p>

7

<p>Wow, I didn't know I was that well off even with bad ExtraCirriculars and no Foreign Language. Are LA and Berekly my max, or do I have a shot at even higher levels?</p>

8

<p>hmm..I didn't catch that part. You should ask about foreign language.</p>

9

<p>No chance for a troll.</p>

10

<p>... Slight reach... a 4.0 uw is about -1.0 below the requirement to get into UCM. </p>

<p>That farming level is also a little below the average accepted at UCM</p>

<p>Although I think your woodcutting level may decide it. Level 95 woodcutting may allow you to cut yew trees faster, hence sell more yew logs at a faster pace than the average player at UCM and therefore gain you more GP in a shorter period of time. Selling this GP for real money could get you an unofficial Runescape scholarship.</p>

<p>Good luck to you</p>

<p>i was a level 140 runescape and i got in pretty easily
all the people here are like 100's</p>

<p>XD</p>

12

<p>ZZZomg......I got in w/ lvl 92!!!! And my woodcutting sucks. ^.^ you're a funny dude</p>

13

<p>you will get rejected level 140 is minimum :P</p>

14

<p>I’m surprise that you didn’t take the MATH II/C for the SATII. (or is it still required for UCs). When I was a senior in high school I had a friend who had a 4.0gpa and perfects on SAT1 and SATII but didn’t take the math II/C. She didn’t get into Cal or Davis.</p>

15

<p>Personally, I’d raise your farming, ranging, fletching, firemaking, and woodcutting skills. Then, and only then, will you have a <em>decent</em> chance of acceptance.</p>

<p>Guys, this thread is over a year old…</p>

<p>He was already rejected since his runescape stats were lower than the average accepted.</p>
