Chances for all UC's

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I know UCLA is a reach, but who knows, I hear UCLA admisisons are eratic. </p>

<p>here are my stats:
Freshman Year: 3.33, 3.166 GPA</p>

<p>Sophmore Year
1st Semester/2nd Semester
English AS: A/A
Chem 1-2: A/A
Algebra 3-4: B/B
Spanish 5-6: B/B
Elective History: A/A
Athletics: A/A
UC GPA for both semesters: 3.5 (considering the elective history and atheltics don't count for UC GPA) </p>

<p>Junior Year
1st Semester/2nd Semester
Bio AP: B/A
Eng H: A/A
USHist AP: A/A
Journalism Adv: A/A
Physics: A/A
Pre-Calc: C/C
1st Semester: 4.0 UC GPA
2nd Semester: 4.167 UC GPA</p>

<p>Avg. UC GPA: Around 3.8-3.9</p>

<p>Pros: Upward trend
Cons: I suck at math / mediocre sophmore grades</p>

<p>SAT score first try was 1900; will retake in Oct. Likely 2000 or slighty above.
SAT II: Lit-710, US Hist: 590 then 630. Will probably retake US History </p>

<p>EC's: Community Service at local library. 4 years tennis team. Various Clubs.</p>

<p>I dream for UCLA and UCSD, but maybe i'll just settle for UCI, UCSB, UCD. :(</p>

<p>Okay with a 3.85gpa, 1900sat, and a 710 and 630sat2, you are about 1000 pts. from getting accepted to UCSD. If you have community service, 40+ a-g courses, elc, personal challanges, low income, leadership, sports, clubs, or any variety of these things you will get accepted.</p>

<p>So I say you get into UCSD, UCI, UCSB, UCD, but you will most likely get rejected from UCLA.</p>

<p>Anyways Good Luck and hopefully UCLA will accept you aswell.</p>

<p>Wow... my stats are exactly like yours. I think you have a good shot at all the UC's expect for UCLA/UCB... but who knows... their admissions seem kinda weird, like you said. I'm hoping to have a shot too.</p>

<p>As pointed out:
UCB/UCLA--reach
UCSD--slight reach
UCSB/UCI/UCD--match
UCSC/UCR/UCM--safeties</p>

<p>The fact that your GPA is rising from sophomore to junior year while taking harder courses works in your favor for UCSD, but your GPA and SAT Is and IIs are really too low for UCB or UCLA unless you come from a disadvantaged area or neither of your parents went to college. (average GPAs at UCB/UCLA are around 4.12--UCLA to 4.17--UCB with SAT Is around 2040 to 2070 and SAT IIs around 1350). </p>

<p>Like you said, though--it can be erratic--so good luck. I'm a UCLA alumnus myself.</p>

<p>The Brian:</p>

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

6

<p>UC Berkeley/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match
UCSC/UCR/UCSC: Safe Match/Safety</p>

<p>Average admit to ucsd is a 4.04 and approx 1950 sat, into ucla is a 4.12 and approx 2050 sat, and uc berkeley is a 4.17 and approx 2050 sat. You are a reach or slight reach to these top three schools.</p>

7

<p>hopefully, a 2000+ SAT score in october will put me more on par with the top tier schools.</p>

8

<p>considering i get a 2050 SATI and a 700 SAT History, will my chances at the top tier UC's notably improve?</p>

9

<p>A little bit, but not really; the average UC GPA for UCLA/UCB is about 4.3.</p>

10

<p>Ahhh....no, it is more like 4.12 and 4.17</p>

<p>TOP UC's GPA:</p>

<p>UC Berkeley: 4.17 GPA
UCLA: 4.12 GPA
UCSD: 4.04 GPA</p>

<p>question: how does 40+ semesters of a-g courses help admission into ucsd and ucla?</p>

<p>also, does this 40 semester dealy include the semesters earned during senior year?</p>

<p>with all 3 years so far plus my projected senior year schedule, i should have more than 40 semesters.</p>

<p>i'm confused.</p>

13

<p>if anyone can answer my question above, thanks.</p>

<p>For the 40+ semesters of a-g, it will definitely help for UCSD because they have a point system with a minimum point score for admission. The 40 semesters will give bonus points giving you a higher score, possibly enough to bump you into the school.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA - Reach
UCSD - Slight Reach
UCSB/UCI/UCD - Match
UCSC/UCR - Safety
UCM - Guaranteed Admission (You meet minimum eligibility for UC so you are in here)</p>
