<p>please chance me for Berkeley, LA
is it safe to call UCSD and UCI safeties?
thanks! [sorry it's sorta long!]</p>

<p>**will delete this post after I get reply(ies) because I feel 'vulnerable' and non-confidential :)</p>

<p>also...
about class ranking, do UCs look at 10-11 rank or 9-11 rank?</p>

2

<p>Haha, I have like the same stats as you and I'm applying to the same schools...</p>

<p>Ummm, UCs do not look at class rank btw.</p>

<p>I'd say you're set for UCI and UCSD, and that you have a good chance at LA/Berk .</p>

3

<p>haha thanks. </p>

<p>anyone else ? this thread is lonely :(</p>

<p>BUMPbumpbump</p>

5

<p>UCs look at class rank for ELC</p>

<p>Welcome</a> to ELC</p>

6

<p>You look like a strong student...write compelling essays!</p>

<p>Take a look at these scattergrams from Arcadia HS Chinese Parents...leave it to competitive Asians to post this stuff ;)...but it's interesting.
AHS</a> c/o 2007</p>

7

<p>Are those UC weighted grades. Really interesting, a 1900 and a 3.5 is safe at SB?</p>

8

<p>I think you have a great shot at all....look into UC Davis - it's awesome!</p>

Regarding the scattergrams?...yeah, I don't know because it doesn't state...but I seriously doubt they would have calculated each students weighted GPA for this purpose...</p>

<p>@ mr183-
so they only use class rank for ELC? but not for actual admission?</p>

<p>@everyone else-
thanks!</p>

11

<p>You're in for UCSD and UCI and you have an excellent shot at UCLA/Cal</p>

12

<p>i just realized that you can't edit posts after a certain period of time - -x
[ignore what i wrote in the first post about deleting that post] </p>

<p>thanks everyone! (I feel more confident,hehe :))</p>

<p>I know this deviates from the colleges of the original discussion, but do you think I stand a chance at stanford? [ehh. dream school and planning to apply to try my "luck"]</p>

13

<p>bump 10char.</p>

14

<p>Look at the same scattergrams of that CA HS. It is extremely telling. That school got punked at all the top colleges. Every Stanford admit had a 2300 plus SAT. UCs are your clearest shot by far. It seems Berkeley is almost as respected in CA yet it's eons easier to get into.</p>

<p>In all honesty, both SAT and rank are too low for S.</p>

15

<p>UCs (at least Berkeley) do not look at high school class rank in admissions.</p>

16

<p>Berkeley - match
UCLA - match
UCSD - not a safety, but a safe match (80%+ chance)
UCI - safety</p>

17

<p>do you think it's safe to call UCD a safety, then? </p>

<p>bump!</p>

18

<p>Yes, UCD would definitely be a safety.</p>

19

<p>last bump? heh</p>

<p>i heard that 40% of UCLA is asian- is that right?</p>
