<p>Varsity tennis all years of high school and a few volunteer stuff here and there, nothing much really</p>
<p>i'm really not expecting anything much i was just wondering what my chances were to getting into the middle tier'ed uc's such as davis, irvine, or santa barbara</p>
<p>Your classes sound like those of Monta Vista. Currently, you don't qualify for UCs because of your low GPA. However, there's hope. Make sure to write stellar UC essays because I know of cases where people didn't actually qualify for UCs (GPA below 3.0) but got in to Riverside due to extremely well written essays. Your test scores will help too.</p>
<p>well i calculated my UC GPA and it's a 3.14 (i forgot to include my year of choir sophomore year which i think counts in the a-g courses) so i'd still be eligible GPA wise for UC's right? does that still mean no chance at davis/irvine/sb?</p>
<p>I took all your classes from sophomore and junior years (averaged the semesters) and then divided it by 10 (the total number of classes you listed)</p>
<p>im not talking about unweighted GPA, UC GPA is different because it counts honors and AP courses and i also forgot that my choir counts as part of my UC GPA and i got A's in both semesters of sophomore year</p>
