Chances for several UCs and USC?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a high school senior this year, and I'll likely be applying to UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCSB, UCR, as well as USC (legacy). </p>

<p>I'm in a top public high school, no class rankings due to the amount of competition (1000+ senior class). I have a couple extracurricular activities, and I've attended California Boys' State this previous summer. I've gone to a cultural Saturday school since preschool, fluent in another language (Lithuanian).</p>

<p>Intended major: Political Science, with an emphasis in International Relations.</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.65-3.7
Weighted GPA: ~3.8</p>

<p>SAT 1: 1960 (Critical Reading: 690, Math: 630, Writing: 640)
SAT 2: (US History - 730)</p>

<p>ACT Composite: 31</p>

<p>AP Classes taken: Human Geography (5), European History (5), Psychology (5), US History (4), English Language (4) (Self-study).</p>

<p>Senior year: AP Statistics, AP US Government, AP Macroeconomics, AP Environmental Science, H Physiology, English, Astronomy.</p>

<p>What are my chances at the UCs? I'll be taking the SAT for the second time again in October. Should I retake the ACT (its higher than the averages for the UCs listed)? Should I send both scores to the colleges or just the ACT?</p>

<p>My top colleges would be UCLA and UCSD for their extremely strong Poli Sci programs, though UCD and USC would also be great. Thank you for your input.</p>

<p>Anyone out there?</p>

<p>Why is your UW and W GPA so close if you have taken so many AP classes?</p>

<p>UCLA- reach
UCSD- low reach
UCD, UCI, UCSB - matches
UCR - low match to safety
USC- low reach</p>

<p>The UC GPA gives weight to several classes, so there isn’t much difference. </p>

<p>Any idea on whether I should only send the ACT or both?</p>

<p>UCLA: reach
UCSD: high match/low reach
USC: low reach
UCD/UCI/UCSB: match
UCR: safety</p>
