Chance me: UCB, UCLA, UCSD

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>My counselor tells me my chances into UCB or UCLA are around 60%, with UCSD at 95%, but my other friends tell me they all are easily safeties.</p>

<p>Here are my numbers:</p>

<p>SAT I 2230 (750CR 790M 690W)
GPA 4.0 UW (~4.4W)
SAT IIs (MathIIC=740, USH=750; bio=770; chem=760)
5's on all APs (USH, Bio, Chem, Calculus AB)</p>

<p>Awards:
Bausch and Lomb Award
National Merit Commended (I don't really think I should put this on my apps though... lol)</p>

<p>I've also attended a few summer programs.</p>

<p>Are my chances truly 60%? or are the UCs reasonable safeties?
and if neither, chance me? :)</p>

<p>Mostly safeties. I had slightly higher SAT scores than you and I was offered Regents by UCLA.</p>

<p>You could probably consider them to be mostly safeties/low matches.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, you’re an easy in. Your admissions formula score is just to good for them to reject you.</p>

<p>From what i’ve learned (secondary schools in my area), guidance counselors are always going to give you the worst-case scenario stats. So I’d relax… your chances are probably what your friends say they are.</p>

<p>Thanks for all your feedback. It’s pretty reassuring to know I can consider such good schools to be low matches or safeties. So the idea is that I don’t need to apply to any other safeties, right?</p>

<p>Are you applying from in state? cuz they’re cutting back on in-state admits, so you may have a harder time. Also, UCB and UCLA are really unpredictable…so…I don’t think many people can consider them safeties. It really depends on EC’s. =&lt;/p>

<p>UCSD however, is definitely a safety for you, even without many EC’s, your SAT and GPA should be enough to get you in. Appply to UC davis or irvine just in case tho. I’ve heard a lot of cases where students got into a school no problem, but then they’re admit was taken back for some reason…so…apply to davis or irvine to be safe. It’s the same app anways…so…might as well.</p>

<p>chance me please

<p>Yes, I am from in-state. I don’t like UC Davis, and I probably wouldn’t go to Irvine, but if UCB and UCLA admissions are as unpredictable as you say they are, I might add University of Rochester or USC in the mix.</p>
