<p>100/700 rank</p>

<p>Every course in my schedule is AP or honors. I am also an Eagle Scout, and have lots of volunteer experience in my community. I am active in a few clubs at school and play guitar in the church band. If it matters, I am a middle class white male. </p>

<p>I'm applying to </p>

<p>San Diego State (Accepted)
UC Riverside (Accepted)
UC San Diego
UC Irvine
UC Berkeley (hahah)
Texas A&M
University of Texas at Austin (first choice)</p>

2

<p>I'd say pretty good chances at Texas and A&M.</p>

3

<p>San Diego State (Accepted)
UC Riverside (Accepted)
UC San Diego--Slight Reach
UC Irvine--Match
UC Berkeley-Reach
Texas A&M-Match
University of Texas at Austin--Automatic Match (automatic if top 10% of Texas high school class)</p>

<p>Keep in mind that the UCs only use the sophomore and junior years, which comes out for you to around a 3.88 UC GPA</p>

4

<p>100/700 is not top 10%, Calcruzer -- it's top 14%. Admission to UT Austin (even if the OP is in-state) won't be automatic, although they do have pretty decent chances.</p>

5

<p>3.88 soph jr GPA, 30 ACT, out of state.</p>

<p>if you could give me your UC GPA (capped weighted gpa for soph jr years) it would help with your odds a lot. but if your uc gpa is around a 3.88 and 30 act, your odds for uc out of state should be:</p>

<p>UCI: Match (oos) (in state average uc gpa is 3.89)
UCSD: Slight Reach-Reach (oos) (in state average uc gpa is 4.04 gpa)
UC Berkeley: Reach (oos) (in state average uc gpa is 4.17)</p>

<p>Texas A&M: Safe Match-Safety (in state)
UT: Match (in state)</p>

6

<p>Just like to add that I am from California.</p>

7

<p>dan087:</p>

<p>UCB: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI: Match
UCR: Safe Match</p>

8

<p>Berkeley: reach
UCSD: high match
UCI: match</p>

<p>Your rank hurts you the most.</p>

9

<p>Yeah, the rank is unfortunate...but does anyone else get the feeling that Dan should be looking for more reaches?</p>

10

<p>I'm not applying to any school just because of its prestige/reputation. I've visited all of those, and chose them because I felt they were a good all around fit for me, especially UT. I just felt like I belonged there.</p>

<p>"Yeah, the rank is unfortunate...but does anyone else get the feeling that Dan should be looking for more reaches?"</p>

<p>MORE REACHES??? UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD all are reaches or slight reaches. I would say Texas-Austin, and UCI are matches and Texas A&M as a safe match-safety. If anything he should have more matches or safe matches. He has three reaches. Never hurts to add more I agree, but before i did that i would add more matches and safe matches.</p>
