Guys!
Please chance me for all UCs
SAT: 1300 (yes, i know it sucks) 700M, 600EBRW
GPA: I’m graduating from a non-US hs (India)
I’m at the top 25%, super competitive school
Major: Economics
ECs:
Track: won several races.
Started a cloth bag campaign in neighborhood
Was part of international award for young people program
Volunteering at an animal shelter
No SAT subject tests? although not recommended by the UC’s for Economics but a good Math 2 score could have helped.
The majority of the UC admits are in the top 10% of their HS class and as an International applicant, the bar is set higher especially for top schools like UCB and UCLA.
Your SAT is within range for the majority of the campuses but still below average accept for UC Merced and Riverside. Economics is also a capped/selective/impacted major at many of the UC campuses.
2019 Data:
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT totals:
UCB: 1340-1540
UCLA: 1330-1550
UCSD: 1300-1520
UCSB: 1280-1520
UCD: 1230-1490
UCI: 1250-1510
UCSC: 1200-1450
UCR: 1130-1400
UCM: 1020-1290
Best chances at UC Merced, Riverside and Santa Cruz. Toss up for Davis, Irvine and Santa Barbara. San Diego, UCLA and Berkeley will be a tough admit.
Best of luck.
