<p>Is your weighted GPA on a 5.0 scale? If so then it’s really low as with your SAT scores. Your extracurriculars are quite good but I’m not too sold if they’re going to make up for your dismal scores.</p>

3

<p>Yes they are :/</p>

4

<p>By the way, thanks for replying!</p>

5

<p>It’s impossible.</p>

6

<p>I agree grades going to hurt you. Your ECs sound great. Did you decide not to apply to any UCs?</p>

7

<p>Sorry, but don’t your hopes high… The average SAT is in the 2150+ range and anything under a 3.8 GPA gives you a SEVERE disadvantage. </p>

<p>You already submitted your application. I understand you want clarification, but as cliche as it sounds, hope for the best, but be very prepared for the worst. That’s the only thing that you can do.</p>

<p>No, I only applied to just those two schools in California, no UCs. I also might apply to UNC: Wilmington, though.</p>

<p>I was just wondering what people thought. I’m so anxious awaiting the decision. I guess I was just wondering if someone knows of someone who has gotten in with those grades, but probably not. Please post if you do!</p>

<p>And thanks guys for your input :)</p>

<p>If it makes you feel any better, I applied with stats that are not CC approved lol. I hope we both get in :slight_smile: Because my stats are not the most competitive, I’m prepared for anything. Stanford is my top choice, and I couldn’t let low stats disable me from making the Jan 1st deadline. I do wish you the best of luck.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, I hope we both get in too…somehow! And that’s exactly the way I think about it - if you don’t even bother applying because you think you won’t get in, you won’t get in. But applying at least gives you a chance, no matter how small it is.</p>

<p>Don’t get your hopes up :/</p>
