Hi, I am a high school senior. College app is approaching, therefore I wonder what are my chances for UC Merced (mainly),UC Riverside and UC Santa Cruz?

A little bit about myself

ACT : 26 (I am retaking it)
SAT Math 2 : 710
3 Honors and 6 AP/IB Classes by the end of Senior

Asian.English is my second language. Raised by single mom.

I know my GPA and ACT are low, and I have no excuses for that.I will also applying to some CSU, but I really want to go to UCs, so please chance me.
Thank you for your time.

With a compelling essay, I think you’l get into UCM and UCR - UCSC could go either way. A few more ACT points could make a big difference.

For CSUs, CP SLO is pretty unlikely. You’ll need a couple more ACT points to be competitive @ SDSU. The rest should be no problem.

Good luck

Agree with ^^^^^ @NCalRent. UCM and UCR are your best chances at a UC. UCSC could go either way and bumping up your test scores will help.

You have a good chance at most of the CSU’s except for SLO and possibly SDSU. Good Luck with your applications.

Youre good with UCM and UCR. UCM has a high admit rate for incoming freshman, as well as UCR. UCSC is about a 50/50 in your case. As far as the cal states, try applying to everyone except SLO, Fullerton, Long beach, and SDSU. Reason I say Fullerton is because they give priority to people from local schools. So if you aren’t living in OC then bets are off. Good luck

Thank for taking your time to answer this post. I will try to bump my ACT score up.
