<p>Although your UC GPA is a little below the average of 4.07, your SAT score is competitive.

<p>I think you’ve got a really good shot - please apply broadly though. UC admissions can be tough to predict and you don’t want all your eggs in one basket.
Good luck</p>

<p>@Gumbymom‌ Made a mistake while calculating my GPA–it’s really 4.1. Thank you!
@NCalRent‌ I’m actually applying to quite a lot of private schools. The only UCs I’m applying to are Davis and SD.</p>
