<p>UC GPA is 3.96 weighted I believe</p>

<p>please chance me for UCLA UCSD UCB UCI and USC .... also Johns Hopkins</p>

<p>thank you very very very much, i greatly appreciate it. hope to see what you think :D</p>

<p>bump… i really want to know</p>

<p>public school class rank 45/630 if that counts… anyone?</p>

<p>Average GPA, average SAT, and strong ECs. I see you rejected at JHU, LA, Berkeley, and USC. I see you accepted in everything else.</p>

<p>Somewhat weak GPA and scores, good ECs and honors/awards. I’d say:</p>

<p>Berkeley: reach
UCLA: reach
UCSD: slight reach - high match
UCI: safe match
USC: reach
JHU: reach</p>

<p>PS What city were you in at Boys’ State?</p>

<p>it was california golden boys state in sacramento. i saw our governor :D</p>

<p>damn i really want to go to ucla… any other opinions?</p>

<p>bump… …</p>

<p>i was also born in the country of Georgia and am fluent in russian… could that help my chances?</p>

<p>bump again. umm plz? i really want ucla</p>

<p>merry christmas : )</p>

<p>UC’s are REALLY number based :confused: so i think if you REALLY, really do a good job with the personal statement you’ll have a chance. your gpa and SAT are not bad, but they’re right at, if not below, UCLA’s 50% mark. </p>

<p>good luck!!</p>

<p>since it looks like that part is average, or right below 50%, wont you think my ECs are over the top and thus will bring me over to become admitted?</p>

<p>bump 4 xmas : )</p>

<p>If you really wanted to go to those reach schools, you should have retaken all those SATs in the fall. They’re just too low.</p>

<p>i retook i got 1870 two times, and retook in december, got 1810 -_-;</p>

<p>Reach: UCLA, UCB, JHU, USC
Slight reach/high match: UCSD
Safe match: UCI</p>

<p>i was thinking ucsd would be a match if not safe match…im elc eligible also (top 12% of state, but not top 4%)</p>

<p>Your SAT Math is absurd considering you took AP Calculus. Are you just not a good test taker?? The AP exam scores listed prove otherwise…but I don’t know.</p>

<p>For UCLA you need at least ~2000. Essay better be mind-blowingly amazing. I’m talking Harry Potter + Matt Damon awesome.</p>

<p>im taking ap calc right now, i took sat in math level 2 (660) in junior year, after pre-calc, which i had a really bad teacher, hence the C i recieved second semester, my only C ever. i got 670 on sat reasoning math… really dissapointed in that.</p>

<p>ecs are bland…? wat u talkn bout.</p>
