<p>good if not great shot at all the schools especially since the F that only really matters is sophomore year and you’ve improved from that</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty frail but if you’ve gotten nearly straight A’s your junior year, colleges should see it as an improving trend. You should probably explain the reason for getting F’s. Any chance you could retake the class?</p>

<p>UCSB and NYU are the only ones I can chance you since I got into those two as well.
As a sidenote this was back in 2012.
You’re likely a 7, maybe 8 for both. If it weren’t for the GPA, UCSB would definitely not be a problem. Make sure to have a killer essay to secure that chance though, especially for NYU. </p>

<p>And no need to chance me back, I’m in college already haha.</p>

<p>Your GPA is awful. You only have an above average SAT score and some debate awards.</p>

<p>UCLA: 0
UCSB: 4 (UCSB seems to accept most people with a 2200+ SAT score)
UCSD: 1
UCB: 0
Cornell: -1
NYU: 2
UChicago: -5</p>

<p>Most of these schools are so out of your reach that they cannot be put on a scale of 1-10.</p>

<p>You do not have to chance me back because I already got my results. I also have a 2300 SAT score, but my capped UCGPA is 4.00, which is a lot higher than yours. I did not get accepted by UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, and Cal Poly SLO.</p>

5

<p>From worst to best:
Chicago: -6
Cornell: -2
Berkeley: 0
UCLA: 1
NYU: 2
UCSD: 2
UCSB: don’t know about this </p>
