Very strong essays
Your ECs are strong. With your GPA well above average for each of the UCs you listed, you should be pretty set.
@alfredm:
Just an FYI for the UC GPA averages including 25th and 75th percentile.
UCSD: 4.16 (4.03-4.28)
UCSB: 4.16 (4.04-4.28)
UCI: 4.13 (4.00-4.25)
UCD: 4.13 (4.00-4.26)
@brement: Not sure why you keep posting but you know your GPA is below average and below the 25th percentile. That said, attending a competitive HS along with your ACT score and Biotech internship could be enough for some of the UC’s on your list. I suggest you “bump” your other threads instead of continually reposting.
As I have stated before, UC’s tend to be GPA focused but will take into account your whole application.
In the end, only the Adcoms could really “chance” you for any school. As long as you applied to a balanced list of schools, you will have some good options.
Best of luck and please update with your acceptances. I love to be proven wrong.
Your ECs are really good and UCs take into account how you are in relation to your area/school. I assume you aren’t the only one with a low gpa in your school due to grade deflation so I assume you should be fine.
Your stats are amazing ! Best of luck to you but how did you write your Chance Me ? I’m new to this website and idk where to go.
You can just click New Discussion on the left within any forum and you are good to go
What sticks out to me is your comparatively low SAT. That’s the constant in inflated and deflated schools.
bump
Stop bumping, please. You have over a half dozen chance me threads with posters telling you the same things.
