<p>I'm a Hispanic male from a public high school in California. I am in the top 10% of my class, with a 3.7 UW, 3.8 W GPA. I have taken quite a few honors classes and will take an AP or two Senior year. I got an 1840 on the SAT (620 CR, 560 M, 660 W). I know the math score is average, which sucks because math is my strongest subject in school but for some reason I haven't been able to do well on the SAT math. I'll be taking the ACT and SAT next fall.
Here are my EC's:
-Varsity tennis 3 years
-Volunteered 2 summers at a tennis and tutoring program at Stanford
(then Business related ec's, which could help because I am interested in a business major)
-In the summer I work full time (then part time during school) at a bakery where I make deliveries, but most importantly I manage their marketing strategy, such as the internet and spreading awareness of the bakery.
-A friend and I started our own kids sports camp hosted at one of our houses, 2 weeks every summer for the past 4 years. We made flyers, which attracted a lot of business, and we make about $2000 each summer.</p>
<p>I would accept you if I was an adcom. That said, you never know, but you have a good shot.</p>
<p>Pretty good chance for UCI. Do try for the better SAT/ACT score, and as for your math score on the SAT, I had the same problem for a while, too (pretty good at math on my end, too). You just need to do some practice tests and you’ll learn that it’s pretty much these special methods that you do over and over again on all the tests. I managed to get my score from a 650 to a 790, so yeah, you just need to get a hang of it.</p>
<p>i have almost the exact same stats. Except different ECs…i did mostly track (i was beast in it) but i got in. You got a good chance. But it can’t be certified because i have a feeling they will drop the admit rate dramatically next year, seeing as they overbooked this year…i doubt they want to make the same mistake again. But don’t take my word for it, for I am only a student. But you got good stats :). I guess a higher SAT will solidify that admit…although not to high or they might think your to good for them and deny you :P</p>
<p>Your UW GPA look nice, but your W GPA indicates that your course load was probably not as challenging. You should work on improving your test scores to offset that weakness. Hispanics are an underrepresented group within the UC system, so your chances will be better because of this. Also, your extracurricular activities will make you stand out a lot, and this is what I think will get you accepted.</p>
<p>I am sure you have a great chance of getting admitted to UCI, because I’ve seen other people with stats lower than yours get admitted in!</p>
