<p>What are my chances?
UCB
UCLA (GOAL)
UCSD
UCI
UCD</p>

<p>my guesses are:
UCB: reach
UCLA: reach =(
UCSD: slight reach
UCI: match
UCD: safe match</p>

<p>I know I need to pull a high SAT (2150+) for UCLA. =&lt;/p>

<p>Anyone? I really do like to hear what other people think of my chances.</p>

3

<p>i agree with your predictions.
and i'm a CA resident to boot, so i totally empathize!
good luck. :)</p>

4

<p>I agree with your own assessment except I thought ucd was slightly harder than Irvine.</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it. UCLA is but a dream! Is there any way in getting into UCSD?</p>

6

<p>if you're categorized as one of the "eligibility in the local context" kids, that could really work in your favor!</p>

<p>4.1 UC GPA, 1830 SAT:</p>

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match-Safe Match</p>

<p>Your SAT is low for Berkeley/UCLA/UCSD. Over 100 points lower than UCSD's average admit, and over 200 points lower than Berkeley/UCLA's average admit. Your UC GPA is right around the average for admits of Berkeley/UCLA/UCSD. </p>

<p>Also, UCI's average admit numbers are very very similar to UC Davis'. UCI's averages are a pinch above those of UC Davis and UCI has a slightly lower acceptance rate. They are considered equivalents in difficulty to gain admissions too. I wouldnt say UCD>UCI, or UCI>UCD. They are equivalents.</p>

<p>Julia: Thanks. Hah, I wish I was ELC. </p>

<p>Chris: Nice. SATs are a bummer. I'm still working on it. It'll be magic to bring it up 200 points for me. But it was the first time I took it and I couldn't withstand the boredom. I get 2000 averages on the blue book (not quite good enough). I'm pretty confident that I'll do much better the second time. Well, that's what they all say. Thanks for the input. Hopefully I can squeeze 100+ more points to match UCSD.</p>

9

<p>If you raise your SAT score at least upto 1900, then SD should be a match for you</p>

<p>dont give up hope! you never know.</p>

10

<p>If you can get your SAT up just above 1900, possibly to around 1920-1940, UCSD would become a match for you. Best of luck!</p>

11

<p>just apply to UCSD as a chicano studies major. once you get in, change your major to pre-med.</p>
