<p>Thanks a lot and if you want me to chance you back, let me know.</p>
<p>Since you haven’t taken your SAT I and II’s it is hard to give you sound feedback without even more speculation than already exists had you completed these tests. I think you are wise to apply to UCB and UCLA “undecided”, since your projected scores are somewhat underwhelming for these two UC’s, as well as your UC (weighted) GPA. Getting accepted to these schools as an “undecided major” will be give you a slightly better chance. My question is this (a question that I truly don’t know the answer to): will you be able to transfer into the major of your choice, should you be accepted ? I know getting into Engineering at both UCB and UCLA are next to impossible, once the declaration period begins, but wasn’t sure about the sciences. This might be a moot point because, based on your projected scores, you would have to be considered a low reach at these two schools. If it is any consolation, UCD, UCSB, and UCI are excellent schools for the sciences and probably a better match for you stats-wise. UCSD is a great choice for Biology but a little more selective than UCD, UCSB, or UCI and slightly less selective than UCB and UCLA. UCR would be your safety school. Good luck.</p>
<p>i say just apply and hope for the best. there’s no way for anyone to predict whether anyone’s going to get in at any of the uc’s, considering the wide range of aspects that go in to the admissions process and the outlying variables that influence admissions every year. the most you can do is try your hardest, and apply. stop worrying about what colleges people think you’ll get into, because when all’s said and done, we’re just basing this off our own stats, and we don’t even know that those are why we were admitted/rejected. so do your best and apply and you’ll get in to the colleges you get in to and you’ll get rejected from the one’s you don’t, there’s nothing you can do to change that if you try your best. good luck man!</p>
