@kmde307: Is your major for the UC’s also Biology?
Yes UCSB and Irvine although test score is on the lower side for SB. Reach for UCSD and UCLA due to test scores.> Chance me back if you can:)
@Gumbymom
Irvine: Public Health
Los Angeles, SD, SB: General Biology/Biological sciences
Sorry, but your test scores look low for those schools. Did you apply to Riverside or Merced or to any CSU’s?
The problem is that you wouldn’t be able to keep up with your peers who are scoring a lot higher than 21 on their ACTs and 1130 SATs. The courses go fast. Most students take a full-time course load and are learning to take care of their needs and living with others. The UC’s are on the quarter system (except for Berkeley). That means you would have 10 weeks to prove yourself.
yeah i applied to cal poly SLO and got accepted. Yeah my test scores are low but do you think i would get rejected from all those schools…
Standardized testing is not my thing
I think you have a decent chance at UCI. They prefer high GPA over test scores but no guarantees.
The rest of the schools will be Reaches unless you have some compelling personal insight essays. They could help our chances.
Got into UCI, UCSB, Cal Poly SLO, SDSU
Rejected: UCSD
Waitlisted: UCLA
not all about test scores @“aunt bea” @Gumbymom @Businessadminhopeful
Agree it is not all about GPA and test scores but on these chancing threads, that is all any CC posters really can rely on so as you found out chancing threads are useless. Congratulations and best of luck wherever you end up.
