Hello! I’m a senior this year and have already submitted my college apps.
Major : Biological sciences
Alternative : Cognitive Science
UC GPA - 3.52
SAT - 1200/1600 ( math - 510 ; reading - 690 ; writing - uh I don’t know how this was calculated but 5/3/6 )
APs - 6 overall; whap, us history, lang, stats, gov, lit
ECs - dedicated 4 years to interact (volunteer club) w/ leader ship positions; track; premed club; leadership
Essays - I had a lot of help on the essays so I think they’re pretty solid but if I’m being honest the only thing that might stand out is my style of writing.
Accepted UCs - RIVERSIDE
Rejected UCs - DAVIS
I’m not going to expect much but I’m just wondering so I don’t get my hopes up and be crushed if I get rejected :,)
I can give you the statistical data and how you compare to the averages at UCI.
The average UC GPA for enrolled Freshman students for Biology last year was a 4.0 and average SAT scores were 1262. You are below the averages in both areas and UCI tends to be very GPA focused. Hopefully your essays and EC’s will give you boost, but it will be a tough admit especially since Biology is impacted. You might get in if you listed an alternate major or undecided.
Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.40-3.79 (capped weighted) and not major specific:
UCB: 1.8%
UCLA: 2.2%
UCSD: 7.2%
UCSB: 10.1%
UCI: 11.1%
UCD: 16.6%
UCSC: 43.8%
UCR: 63.3%
UCM: 88.7%
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:
UCB: 1280-1490
UCLA: 1280-1500
UCSD: 1250-1470
UCSB: 1210- 1450
UCD: 1190-1430
UCI: 1190-1420
UCSC: 1170-1380
UCR: 1090-1310
UCM: 1020-1230
Best of luck and UCR is a very good school as an option.
I’m around the same level, 3.64 UC GPA, 3.91 weighted capped gpa, 1450 SAT. Hopefully our essays and EC’s carry us. I’ll pray for us aha Irvine is my dream school 
Thank you! I’ll try not to be too bummed haha
Goodluck to you! That’s a really nice SAT score, I’m jealous :,)
