Chance @ UC's?

UW gpa: 3.34 (using UC calculator on rogerhub)
SAT: 1240 (660 reading/writing 580 math)

I plan on applying to UCSC and UCR, planning to major in psychology!!
I wanted to add UCSB and UCD but since those two are really big reaches, I don’t know if I’m going to include them, I just wanted a wide range of schools.
I have many leadership activities/extracurriculars that I’m also going to mention in the app :0

Why aren’t you considering the CSU’s?
UCSD and UCD will be reaches.

There are already CSUs on my list, this was just my school choices for the UCs! :slight_smile:

Here is the Freshman admit rate for your UC (capped weighted) GPA range and not major specific:

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.00-3.39

UCB/UCLA/UCSD: 1%- Super High Reach
UCI/UCSB: 2%- High Reach
UCD: 4%- High Reach
UCSC: 18%- Reach
UCR: 38%- High Match/Low Reach
UCM: 67%- Match/Low Match

Your SAT is solid but UC’s are very GPA focused. Having good essays and EC’s can help your chances but I would only apply to UCR/UCSC and not waste the application fees for the rest.
Add UC Merced if you are not ELC eligible.

25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:

UCB: 1280-1490

UCLA: 1280-1500
UCSD: 1250-1470
UCSB: 1290-1450
UCD: 1190-1430
UCI: 1190-1420
UCSC: 1170-1380
UCR: 1090-1310
UCM: 1020-1230

Best of luck and make sure you have at least one safety school.

i think UCR and UCSC are long shots. Be sure to also apply for Fullerton, Chico, Sac or another Cal State that’s likely to accept you.
good luck
