<p>Are you able to calculate your UC GPA? Nonetheless, I'd say you are a low reach for both UCLA and CAL. Around 30-50% chance.</p>

3

<p>The weighted GPA is my UC GPA.</p>

4

<p>If 4.6 is your UC GPA, and your rank is high, then consider yourself a match for UCLA and Cal.</p>

<p>The avg UC gpa for UCLA and CAL was around 4.15-4.17</p>

5

<p>Yay! My school doesn't rank, but I know I'm in the top 10% (the most selective bracket). Do you think this is high enough?</p>

<p>Oh, my intended major is art history, if it makes much of a difference.</p>

<p>Thanks for your responses!</p>

6

<p>PS-Do you know the average SAT score? I've heard it's around a 2070. Do you think I'm still a match?</p>

7

<p>yes the average SAT score for UCLA the past year was around 2040, while berkeley was around 2060 or 2070. Yes you are definitely a match, considering your UC GPA is way above average.</p>

8

<p>definitely got a good shot at ucla, and good but not as good to cal</p>

<p>but i would say you will get in</p>

9

<p>thanks all for your replies! i sincerely appreciate the advice.</p>

<p>does anyone know which is generally viewed as better for art history?</p>

<p>your uc gpa is fully weighted. calculate your uc (capped) gpa that only assigns extra points for up to 8 semesters of AP/honors/college classes.</p>

<p>ucla/berkeley - slight reach (50%) (because the only thing that stands out is your gpa)</p>

11

<p>GPAx213, by 8 semesters do you mean 8 year-long classes or 8 semesters of classes (therefore only 4 year-long classes)?</p>

<p>If the former, my GPA is 4.44</p>

<p>If the latter, my GPA is 4.22</p>

12

<p>8 semesters, I believe..</p>

13

<p>Your EC’s and volunteering are a little low. Your SAT II scores should be at least 700 or above.</p>

<p>@PANGIE: She only listed her most important ECs, not every single thing she did.
Your GPA is great. However, both your SAT I and II could use quite a bit of work. Therefore, I would say that both UCLA and UCB would be high matches I suppose, since your standardized test scores are bringing you down.
