GPA: 3.7 Weighed (Also worth mentioning that I I improved my gpa .2 every semester; Sophomore 3.4 -> Junior 4.0)
SAT: 1290
ACT: 29
EC:
Cross Country Captain
CSF
Track and Field MVP award
Won a city essay contest.
I know my EC are pretty weak, but do I have a shot at those schools for engineering? I know that engineering is super competitive and my GPA/SAT may be a bit low…
ACT scores within range for all UC’s on your list. GPA on the low side for UCI and UCD which had averages above a 4.0 UC capped weighted and not major specific. Expect higher stats for Engineering.
Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.40-3.79:
UCB: 2%
UCLA: 3%
UCSD: 6%
UCD: 15%-Reach
UCSB: 14%
UCI: 13%-Reach
UCSC: 59%-High Match
UCR: 78%-Match
UCM: 92%
Hopefully you have a safety and included some Cal states on your list. UCR looks like the best option and good luck.
What exact engineering did you apply to? I hope you applied to enough safeties including Cal States.
For UC engr, GPA and SAT are low side,and you have decent EC’s, but nothing relating to your major. Hoepfully, you have good essays.
UCD: reach
UCI: reach
UCSC: high match / low reach
UCR: match / high match
Good luck
Yup I definitely have cal states as safeties, just wondering if I have a chance at UC’s. Thanks for the replies!
