ACT:30, Math 35, English 31, Science 29, Reading 23, Eng/Writing 29
SAT II: Bio M:730, Math 2C: 690
GPA: UW:3.53 W:3.77
Several EA's including sports, volunteer work, clubs, scouts, cadets, tutoring, etc.
I wanted to know my chances of being accepted into the UC's. I think UCLA and Berkeley are almost impossible, but ucsd ucd and uci are good possibilities. (correct me if im wrong) Also i was wondering about privates like USC and university of pacific.</p>
<p>Also i moved to cali during sophomore year which impacted my grades. I got 3 c's that year but in junior year i brought my GPA back up(3.75 UW, 4.25 W) and also took 4 courses at a community college.(all A's). Back in canada, i had a 3.75 UW freshman year with all honors classes. This shows i was always a strong student but immediately after the move my grades dropped. Fortunately, in junior year i got better, showing an upward trend. Incorporated this well into my essay. Will this factor and ACT score possibly make up for my low GPA?</p>
<p>I’m new to this so please don’t be too upset about my post. I’m quite unfimiliar with the school your talking about. But, after doing a little quick research I say you’ll have an ok chance of getting in. Your grades are phenomenal considering you took that big hit of C’s. But, moving usually is not a good excuse for colleges. The only exception I see is if your moving internationally or you moved into a more advanced school. You didn’t give many details about your EC’s or what specific major your planning on going into. If you are passionate about a certain subject and your EC’s and your course load reflects that then I say you have a good chance. But, if you are undecided I would drop that down to an ok chance.</p>
<p>Again don’t get discouraged by my post, I’m new and unfamiliar with your school. Just wanted to get you that post you wanted ;)</p>
<p>Well thanks for the post. I am actually really certain on what i want to do and i mentioned this in the essay. I want to do pre-dent or pre-med and major in the bio sciences. I have ec’s at hospitals and volunteer work at organizations like MDA which researches in neuromuscular diseases. I also mentioned my passion for helping the less fortunate and living out my Catholic faith by helping out churches and cooking meals for the homeless. My dream is to pursue a career which combines my love of science with my desire to help others.</p>
<p>UCSD: reach- your test scores are about the average, but your gpa isnt high enough
UCD: High Match- gpa is a bit below the average, but your sat is a bit above, 50/50 shot i would say
UCI: match- same as davis, except i would say a 60-65% shot since the stats at irvine are a bit lower</p>
<p>Well, if your essays highlight how you worked so hard and brought your grades up, I think…
UCSD: Reach (GPA isn’t high enough :/)… but you have a shot if your essays are good
UCD: Match - I think your SAT is decent, which makes up for your GPA
UCI: Low Match - I think you’re pretty likely to get in here</p>
<p>Oh yeah i was wondering which act score is better. The one i listed above or this one:
Composite:30
Math 33
English 29
Science 29
Reading 28
Eng/Writ 26
In my opinion i think the first one i took was better.</p>
