Chances at some UC's please?

<p>I have applied for freshman admission at UCLA, UCD, UCI, UCSB, and UCSC. I know that UCLA is a major reach and that I’ll probably get into UCSC for sure. But I’d like some feedback on my chances from other CC members. I posted this same question on the main chances board before I discovered this UC specific forum. So here are my stats.</p>

<p>UC gpa: 3.6</p>

<p>SAT I: 1970 (630v 730m 610w)</p>

<p>SAT II; 730 math IIc, 600 span</p>

<p>a-g courses: 44</p>

<p>Honors/AP courses: 8 semesters</p>

<p>AP test scores: 4 calc AB; will take stat and span AP tests this spring.</p>

<p>Community service: 200 hours each of 9th,10th,11th grade summers; also peer tutor for special ed students during school year; organized xmas toy drive for kids living in homeless shelters and I received public recognition for my leadership of that effort.</p>

<p>I am honestly blown away by the gpa’s and SAT scores of others on this board that are also applying to UC’s. I know that UC doesn’t take into consideration the fact that I attend one of the top rated schools in California, that it is super competitive, and that is why my gpa is “only” 3.6. So that’s it. I really do appreciate any feedback that you can give me on my chances at these UC’s.</p>

<p>UCSC: Match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Slight reach
UCLA: Big reach</p>

<p>Your SAT scores seem to be about average for admission to UCI/UCD/UCSB, however your GPA seems to be lacking.</p>

<p>Greensam88 has it about right. </p>

<p>Here are stats for last year's class:</p>

<p>Unfortunately, last year, UCI and UCD received more "yes's" from students than expected so they will probably be more selective this year.</p>

<p>Now I'm confused. You are correct that my gpa is .24-.30 below the average, but my total SAT score is 121-149 points higher than the average admit score. So where does that leave me? Maybe my community service will make a difference. Sure hope so.</p>
