<p>Other: My Freshman year gpa was a 2.3, it rose to a 4.1 by the end of junior year. This could either make or break me...</p>

<p>THANKS SO MUCH! =]</p>

<p>if your uc gpa is a 3.75 then you could get into santa cruz, merced and riverside.
if it is higher(like 4.0) then you could get into sb, irvine and davis</p>

3

<p>a 3.75 couldn’t get me into irvine or davis? i thought ucla and ucb were more 4.0+</p>

4

<p>unfortunately your sat and satII are not high enough to compensate for your gpa to get you in ucd or uci. Retake sat to get past 2000 and satii math2 over 700 you may still have a chance. Good luck</p>

5

<p>i think uci would be a slight reach for you and ucsd ucla and cal being a reach for you because your sat and gpa are just too low…
you have a lot of service hours though!</p>

6

<p>Berkeley - super reach</p>

<p>sorry mate.</p>

7

<p>I know Berkeley and UCLA are super reaches for me… Even SD is. But i’m setting my sights more on Irvine or Davis… would I have a fair chance there?</p>

<p>Does anyone know of someone with similar stats that was accepted?</p>

8

<p>What is the difference between a regular gpa and a uc gpa?</p>

9

<p>a UC gpa has 8 semesters of UC approved honor courses weighted and it only includes your sophmore and junior year grades</p>

10

<p>Do they look at the classes you took during freshmen and senior year? Im a junior and im traking hard classes this year, do you think that I should take a heavy load next year?</p>

11

<p>I think your EC’s compensate for the GPA/Test scores. There will always be applicants that are accepted with lower scores than average, because keep mind it is an average, meaning some are above and some are below. Your EC’s show characteristics of leadership which UC’s search for so i think you would be a match to the mid tier UC’s (Davis, Irvine, SB) and SD is probably a slight reach.</p>

12

<p>@ jhjb24: yeah they look at the “rigor of senior coursework” So take as many, if not more, ap classes.</p>

<p>@ tomerlol: I really really hope you are right because ECs are pretty much all i have going for me right now…</p>

13

<p>^ You can actually retake SATs and ACT. If you’ll break the 2000 level you should be fine at SB, Irvine, Davis and SC.</p>

14

<p>i retook the ACT and I got my score today. it is a 30
would that boost my chances up a lot?</p>
