<p>So I've been really nervous about applying for colleges. I do not have the money to apply to all the possible schools so I'm trying to figure out whether I have a chance to get accepted into either UCLA, UCSB and UCSD.
I am now a high school senior, graduating in 2014. </p>
<p>I have a 3.978 unweighted GPA, and a 4.85 weighted GPA.
I have taken 5 AP courses:
AP US History (5)
AP Spanish Language (5)
AP Psychology (4)
AP European History (3)
AP English Language and Composition (3)
For EC, I volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club. I have been part of my school's World Quest Club, and President of the Nutrition Club. I am also a part of Young Women's Leader Club . I have been on the Swim Team for 2 years.
My SAT score was a 1790, and ACT was 26.
I plan on retaking them this year but based on the information, what would my chances be?</p>
<p>By the way, I am taking 6 more AP courses this year (Calculus AB, Physics, Spanish Literature, English Literature, Statistics and Econ/Gov.)</p>
<p>UCLA/UCSD-reaches
UCSB-match?</p>
<p>What are your subscores? Class rank? UC GPA?</p>
<p>I am not someone with any real authority or knowledge, but based on being in the same boat as you, I can say that your GPA and AP classes are quite admirable. You are also pretty involved and a leader in one of your clubs, and leadership is always desired. Unfortunately, there is nothing that “sticks out” from any other student applying to college. I always hear that about my qualifications, and it seems like in these days, it is impossible to stand out from thousands of applicants! Personally, I think that if you get your test scores up, you will have an amazing shot at getting accepted. Good luck!</p>
<p>UCLA: high match/low reach
UCSD: match/high match
UCSB: match</p>
<p>UCSB - match
UCSD - high match
UCLA - low reach</p>
<p>You have a great GPA and your test scores are in range for UCSB, maybe UCSD, but a bit low for UCLA. You’re also taking a rigorous courseload senior yr so that will look good on college apps. I’d suggest retaking both SAT and ACT and try getting a 1900+/28+ then UCLA would be less of a reach!</p>
<p>My class rank is 5/ 480(?).</p>
