<p>Likely accept at most UC’s and USC</p>

<p>SAT is probably a bit low for Stanford. It really depends. Under 2100 unhooked is gonna be hard but 2150 or a bit higher and you might have an okay chance.</p>

<p>Also, some UC’s require subject tests for certain majors so you should look into that.</p>

<p>Thank you for your feedback :slight_smile: What does “2100 unhooked” mean</p>

<p>Bump? Will Chance back :)</p>

<p>Your GPA is amazing and your SAT is decent. I think you have a great chance at the UCs but your extracurriculars might not suffice for USC and Stanford. I believe private schools look at extracurriculars a bit more. Just curious though-is 4.4 your UC GPA?</p>

<p>Chance back please! </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that’s my UC GPA (it’s on my transcript)… Although my SAT score is not exceptional it is for me because I was getting a 1650-1700 on my SATs and I studied really hard to get to where I am now :slight_smile: I don’t now if colleges will see that as a negative thing :/</p>

<p>Hm, how does your school organize schedules? At my school, we take 2 semesters of 6 courses per year, so the maximum UC GPA we can get is a 4.33.</p>

8

<p>Our school has 2 semesters and you are required to take 6 classes freshman year and five or less classes for the rest of your high school career. Like I said, I’m not too sure about my GPA but it seems about right since I’ve completed 5 classes on a 5.0 scale so far and have received A’s in all of them.</p>

<p>Bump? I chance back :)</p>

<p>unhooked means that you don’t have anything that colleges will recruit you for (such as recruited athlete, Underrepresented minorities, national winner in anything etc)</p>

11

<p>UCs - Safety to Low Reach (UCB and UCLA)
Stanford - High Reach because of your sat score.</p>
