<p>You have everything you need but your gpa is just so low. UCLA and UCB will be high reaches. UCSD will be a reach as well. I don’t think having a parent on faculty will help but I could be wrong.*</p>

<p>UC’s are very numbers based. Gpa and sat seem to matter to them more than EC’s. You would probably have a better chance at a similarly or slightly lower ranked private college that will look at you more holistically.*</p>

<p>Good luck and I hope you get in!*</p>

<p>What’s your UC GPA? The avg. UC GPA for SD was 4.04, 4.17 and .18 for LA and Berkeley respectively.</p>

<p>It’ll be a high reach, however.
Having a faculty member being a parent will help for admissions only at SD, not in the UC system as a whole.
UCSD: mid to high reach
UCLA: high reach (possibly mid)
UC Berkeley: high reach (possibly mid)
Your SAT score will help, however.
Remember to have your counselor write the reason as to why you got low grades.</p>

<p>Chance me back please?

<p>Have you stopped taking your medication and will it show a huge improvement in your mid-term grades in the Fall? If you can somehow get straight A’s and offer a medical explanation supported by your physician, your chances would improve. Still somewhat of a longshot, however. It might be too little too late, but it’s worth a try. There might be good essay material contained in your medical history. Good luck!</p>

<p>my UC GPA is a 3.74 :/</p>

<p>A 3.4 UW is really going to hurt you and make these schools mid-reaches. I still think you have a chance of getting in, though–beast your essay!</p>
