  • AP: Composition = 2 Seminar = 3

UC GPA capped weighted and Fully weighted? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Are their few AP classes offered at your High School since your HS rigor is lacking? What is your Senior schedule like?

For the UC’s, they do not consider Senior grades in their admission decisions only 10-11th grades.
Also Race/Ethnicity is not considered but First generation can help. HS rigor is very important to the UC’s but they will consider your rigor in the context of what is offered at your HS.

Are these schools affordable and have you run the Net Price Calculators on all of them for cost estimates?

Since you have no official test scores and based on predicted scores, I would chance you as follows:

UCLA/UCB: Reach (below a 4.0 UC GPA and below a 1400 SAT score makes it a super tough admit)
UCD: Low Reach (below a 4.0 GPA and aim for an SAT of 1350+)
UCSC: High Match (If UC GPA is 3.8 or higher and SAT 1300+)

I see you have no safety schools and your list is Reach heavy. I would add UC Riverside and possibly a few Cal states so you will have options in the spring.

Not gonna lie, this will be rough because lack of tough courses or SAT score.

I believe chicago, UM, UCLA, USC, UNC will be rejects.

Both Boston will be very tough.

Hope I am wrong. Good luck to you.
