Chances at UCI?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My stats are bad, but here it is.</p>

<p>GPA - 3.65
SAT - 2100
SAT II Bio - 750
SAT II Eng language - 730
Only 2 years of foreign language = (</p>

<p>EC's...4 years of volunteer work at a church, member of DECA, and internship. If I write a fantastic personal essay, what are my chances? I know there low, and because I didn't do well my freshman year, but I don't mind going to a CC for 2 years then transfering</p>

<p>Your test scores are on the range of UCLA level I believe.</p>

<p>UC GPA is only 10-11th grade courses with additional points for honors/AP. Freshman grades don't matter. Is it still a 3.65?</p>

<p>Unfortunately a 3.65 is a bout right (weighted) I procrastinated sophomore year so that brought me down.</p>

<p>Since the average UC GPA at UC Irvine is about 3.89 with an average SAT score of 1849, and you have excellent SAT IIs also, you are probably somewhere between a match and a slight reach for UC Irvine (probably closer to slight reach--but I'd apply for UC Irvine for sure if I were you). Here's you chances at some of the other UCs as well:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA/UCSD: Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match to Slight Reach
UCSC/UCR: Match
UCM: Safety</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
