Chances at UCs?!....

<p>UC GPA= 3.6
SAT I= 1330
SAT II= 800 (Math IIC), 760 (Writing), 670 (Physics)</p>

<p>6 APs by graduation (mostly 4s). Numerous Honors courses freshman and sophomore years.</p>

<p>Applying to all the UCs except Merced, Riverside, and Santa Cruz. Will my high test scores make up for my low GPA?? Also, I'm instate. What do you think my chances are??? Thanks a lot guys........</p>

<p>Santa Barbara, San Diego and Irvine seem like the best bet so far, since you aren't applying to Riverside, Santa Cruz, or Merced. But, you never know. There's always that slight chance including ECs and everything that you could get in elsewhere.</p>

<p>Also I'd re-think applying to the "lower" UCs as well as a few of the CSUs like Cal Poly. It doesn't hurt to have back up.</p>

<p>Um..UCSD? Not really. They accept roughly 35% of applicants, and the avg GPA is 3.9. I would classify UCSD as a 'slight reach' school.</p>

<p>The SAT scores look good, but the overall GPA will give an adcom pause.</p>

<p>Irvine, Davis and Santa Barbara are all matches I think.</p>

<p>UCLA will be a reach, but not impossible. </p>

<p>I believe in always having backups, like a CSU...but I don't think you will have to worry.</p>

<p>Ya, I do have some safeties, so I'm not worried about that. :) I just hope I get into one UC...</p>

<p>Anyone else??...</p>

<p>Do you have any special EC that might set you apart?</p>

<p>I don't know how anyone can begin to give an opinion without knowing class rank. That is uber important at UCs. If you're in the top 10% of your class, you have a good chance at all but B, LA and SD. If you're not, you will have to hope that one really likes your essay.</p>

<p>Nobody has ever answered this question for me.. HOW!? When will the UCs see class rank before students have already been accepted?</p>

<p>They know the norms at every CA public school.</p>

<p>B...u...m...p...</p>

<p>Anyone else??</p>

<p>definitely apply to sum CAl State schools. I beleive UCLA is 30 percent chance but if you havesum good EC"s and a incredible essay, you're in</p>

<p>Im not really shootin for UCLA or Berk (I kno there huge reaches). Im hoping to get into Davis, Irvine, or Santa Barbara...with San Diego as my reach.</p>

<p>What are my chances at those?? Thanx...</p>

<p>Oh!
Irvine-match
SB-match
Davis-match
SD-slight reach
LA and Berk-reach...i wwould say medium reach</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance at Davis, Irvine, and Santa Barbara - you'll definitely get into one of those (if not all).</p>

<p>I'm from California and want to attend UCSD so I can help you out.</p>

<p>You're GPA is lower than the standard for the better UC's but everything else looks solid. My GPA is like a 3.75 and I'm worried, they've got a lot of over achievers. Now I'm in Texas and it's easier.</p>

<p>Thanx...</p>

<p>Any other thoughts?</p>

<p>B...u...m...p...</p>

<p>Please!!</p>
