<p>UCSD/UCI--> good chance
UCD, UCR, UCSC --> in</p>
<p>UCLA --> reach
UCB --> big reach</p>
<p>USC (business) --> reach.. borderline SAT I score, below average SAT II's, borderline unweighted GPA, below average weighted.</p>
<p>If you apply to USC's schools other than business, it might be a bit easier... im not sure.. i just know that business is the most competitive field @ usc</p>
<p>The person above has some strange groupings. UC Davis lumped with the same odds as UC Riverside? UCSD lumped with the same odds as UCI? UC Davis is significantly more difficult to gain admissions to than UCR. UCSD is significantly more difficult to gain admissions to than UCI. UCD and UCI's stats are more comparable. The above poster put UCB as being a big reach and UCLA only a reach, when their average admissions numbers are only .05 GPA different and 10 SAT points different. While he puts UCSD as the same odds as UCI, when UCSD's average admission numbers are .15 GPA higher and over 100 points higher SAT. That makes no sense. When it comes to UC's usually odds grouping are (UCB/UCLA) (UCSD) (UCI/UCSB/UCD) (UCSC/UCR/UCM). Remember USC computes SAT's using numerous sitting computation, usually inflating SAT numbers versus UC's, who use the single sitting computational method.</p>
<p>UCB: Reach (average admit 2020 SAT 4.17 GPA)
UCLA: Reach (average admit 2010 SAT 4.12 GPA)
UCSD: Slight Reach (average admit 1940 SAT 4.04 GPA)
USC: Slight Reach</p>
<p>All the UC's below these schools you should be in.</p>
<p>i think so.. when i told my berkeley friends that i put biochem as a major...they went..u just killed ur own app. they said i should have put undecided...cuzz ill be competing with all the other biochem kids...</p>
<p>o and my friend and I put biochem at first, but he changed his to genetics cuzz his counselor said its basically the same thing but less competition...</p>
<p>so should i apply for USC declared business, apply for some other major (psychology maybe?) as my major and then switch out once i get in (will that be hard?), or just apply undeclared.</p>
<p>which will give me a better chance of getting in?</p>
<p>I applied for USC's Annenberg, 2nd major is undeclared</p>
<p>For UCLA, I applied for Undeclared-Humanities, Undeclared Social Science</p>
<p>Although college admission officers will never ADMIT that there is a biasy in applicant's chosen majors, there always will be. Schools always wish to promote the fields they are not known for.</p>
<p>PS: UCCHris, I did not bother to waste my time and seperate UC Davis from Santa Cruz and Riverside because this applicant should be in for ALL THREE of them.</p>
<p>And UC Berkeley is a BIGGER reach than UCLA for this kid because everyone knows that Cal needs strong academic endeavors while UCLA finds sympathy digging around EC's (which are one of his strength)</p>

<p>100% agreeee!!!</p>
<p>iuno, people tell me they only accept a set number of people for each major..thats why football players put "Woman study or African study" as their major.</p>
