<p>What is your UC gpa? that will help alot in chancing you
But from what ive seen, I think youre in at SB, D, I for sure
SD looks like a match
You didnt say if you were or werent in elc, that would really boost your chances if you were in it.
B and LA really evaluate EC’s so i think they would be reaches considering your GPA and SAT; its not that your EC’s arent good, ive just seen many others rejected with amazing EC’s
(Last time i checked, the AVERAGE student applying to LA had a 4.0 and 2000 SAT)</p>

<p>Thanks for your input. My uc gpa is 4.2 I believe. Yea i know i can probably get into UCD and UCSD, but considering my essays and some of the awards left out, i believe Ucb is a definite possibility. Thanks so much for the help!!! Any others are welcome to answer ;)</p>

<p>How is your UW GPA 3.86 and your UC GPA 4.2 if you have only taken 2 weighted classes and 1 CC class? You should double-check that by getting an official transcript from your counselor. I don’t understand how you can take “college” level classes in high school, but your HS doesn’t list them as Honors or AP classes. Make sure you indicate somewhere on your application on how you were limited to a few Honors and AP classes. I think you’re in for all UC’s up to UCSD. UCB and UCLA are a slight reach, but then again, they are for most people. Unless you are going to write essays “relating to your love of tennis and my struggle of balancing sports and study” with completely new and unique angles, I’d try and steer clear of those topics. It’s not that it isn’t a good topic, but I’m sure many will write about the same or similar things. Try to be original with your essay topics. Good luck to the both us! :]</p>

<p>Hey, thanks for the help :). Yea i checked my transcript and my high school said they gave extra points for honors because they are accredited to the extra points for those classes. I am definitely working on my essays and making them as personal and unique as possible. I think its getting there. I’m glad to hear my chances are that high given my circumstances. Thanks alot people!</p>
