<p>Sorry to ask, but I posted on the first page and I got a slight reach from flopsy. How much of a slight reach am I and what scores would I need to make LA a match? Thanks</p>

<p>Northern California Community College

Major Transferring Into: Neuroscience —>then adding an Env. Science double major once there</just></first></p>
<p>GPA: 3.8
IGETC: Completed by this Spring
PreReqs: The only Pre-Reqs I will have left are O-Chem & Physics
-O-Chem is upper div at UCSD so I heard they are pretty lenient when it comes to Pre-Reqs as long as Bio/GenChem sequences are complete for science portion. There is no way I can fit physics into my spring semester b/c I’m taking Chem2,Bio2,Calc2, and 2 GE classes<probably philosophy=“” and=“” something=“” else=“”>
EC: Phi Theta Kappa Chapter President
13 hr/week Laboratory Tech Assistant at school
150 or so hours of volunteering at UCSF Medical Center Emergency Dept.</probably></p>
<p>*My only concern is lack of completion of Pre-Reqs (O-chem & Physics) and the weird extra stuff that Revelle asks for ON TOP OF IGETC 
But as for UCLA I know they are EXTREMELY picky about pre-reqs sooooo… 
But I would appreciate chancing on SD or LA or both :)</p>
<p>Hey I posted my own stats a page ago and I had a question to the people who chanced me.</p>
<p>Is the slight reach I was given based upon my current SAT scores or projected SAT scores? Or is this factor not important enough to make a difference?</p>
