Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I was wondering what my chances were to get into UCLA, UC Irvine, UCSD and UC Riverside</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.6 - i had lots of B sophomore, but straight As Junior year.<br>
Also, i have taken all honors + 8 AP classes (including senior year)</p>

<p>ACT Score: 29 (will retake again)
SAT 2: Bio: 770 US History: 700</p>

<p>APs: Bio:5, Psych: 5, US History: 5 Eng Lang: 3</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>In red cross club, key club, and habitat for humanity. President/Founder of GreenPeace club. Volunteer at hospital (lots of hours there). I also tutor elementary school students. Ive taken lots of community college courses over the summer and passed all of them with an A.</p>

<p>My application essay is kinda average :( but im trying to improve</p>

<p>You need to calculate your UC GPA, as it is basically the most important factor in admissions. UC GPA = Weighted (A=5, B=4) GPA for all academic classes Sophomore-Junior Year. For you UC GPA, keep in mind you can only weight up to 8 semesters of classes, so any A after that will only be 4, B is 3, etc. Also, what classes are you taking your senior year, as they look not at your senior year grades but the difficulty of your schedule.</p>

<p>AUCplease:</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCI: Safe Match
UCR: Safety</p>

<p>I agree with flopsy here (he's kind of the expert on the UCs), but I also think you should compute your UC average as explained by AzNChoiBoi8 and then compare it to the profiles at the following location:</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Also, keep in mind that it is tougher to get in from out-of-state, than in-state--so if you are out-of-state, your chances are probably:</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI: Match
UCR: Safe Match</p>

<p>Hmm...assuming you have taken some AP/IB classes and you write satisfactory essays...and your high school is somewhat rigorous...</p>

<p>UCLA: 50%
UCSD: 80%
UCI: 99%
UCR: 99%</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>
