<p>thanks, can someone please rank my chances with some of the private schools</p>

<p>Im going to disagree with above posters and say that UCI is not an absolute match for you, mainly because of your SAT scores. They are a tad low.</p>

7

<p>SAT Range for UCI:</p>

<p>V: 540-630
M: 570-680</p>

<p>45% above 3.75 weighted GPA.</p>

<p>Barely below the median for verbal, somewhat above the median for math.</p>

<p>60% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>State resident.</p>

<p>That's why it's a match...</p>

<p>Um, no. Those statistics aren't absolute (surprised?)....because I speak from first-hand knowledge. I know many people with over 1900 SAT's and 3.8 GPA's get rejected by UCI.</p>

<p>I trust collegeboard much more than someone's subjective and isolated opinion. It's a match. Maybe your friends were lacking something that they didn't tell you.</p>

10

<p>Hello? Isn't this what chance threads are all about? To hear subjective and isolated opinions of others? If someone wanted to find chances for getting into colleges, then they don't even need to come here. They can all just go to collegeboard right? But how come we have so many people putting up chance threads? because they want to hear opinions of people, not just some second-hand statistics from a website they already have. Seriously, just because i disagreed with you a little bit doesn't mean you have to get defensive. The original poster can decide for his/herself.</p>

11

<p>Alright, fair enough. No reason to get all riled up over it.</p>

12

<p>eeeasy there, no need to argue,</p>

<p>anyway i appreciate the advice about UCI but im still looking for chances for my private schools (mainly GW, and Emerson but evaluate as many as you can if possible). can anyone help?</p>

13

<p>GW, you simply need a higher CR score. Raise it about 100 points, and it's a match.</p>

<p>bumpppppppp</p>
