<p>That’s awesome that you broke a world record, I think that is a definite hook.</p>

<p>My cousin is going to UC Davis in the fall, I’m pretty sure her SAT score was lower that yours, but she was salutatorian of her high school class.</p>

<p>Q, I see that you are taking 4 AP classes next year, are there any other classes you are taking though? At my school we have 8 periods in a day, how many periods do you have?</p>

<p>Q, Are you in-state? I think it will be slightly easier to get in if you are. Also financial aid is a plus. If you are out of state though and can pay the whole thing that would be a plus too.</p>

<p>I know people with very similar stats who were accepted. I’d say it’s a match.</p>

6

<p>Just curious, what’s your world record?</p>

<p>Hey! I got a world record for participating in the largest dance (about 400 people at the same time). It was way back in 2007 though :)</p>

<p>@mandyg233: </p>

<p>I’m actually taking 5 classes next year. I’m taking 4 AP classes plus a regular literature class. I’m also in state. Apparently, it’s a lot harder to get in if you’re in state now :/</p>

<p>I feel like my uc gpa is really low though :confused: I was looking at the UC Davis Class of 2018 decisions, and most of them were above 4.1 D:</p>

<p>anyways, i’ll see my chances :slight_smile:
Thank you so much for the help!</p>

<p>hmm now that i think about it, is it okay to recount experiences which were not when i was in high school? </p>

9

<p>I think it’s okay. Probably would have less impact though </p>

10

<p>I almost guarantee you will get in. The GPA is about average, but your SAT score is very high for Davis.</p>

11

<p>An easy match! Cool world record though! </p>

<p>Please chance me: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1659294-transfer-student-to-american-university.html?new=1”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1659294-transfer-student-to-american-university.html?new=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You absolutely should get in though Davis does take into account major and there are a million Bio majors. </p>

13

<p>If i get good grades (all As) senior year, will they take those grades into account and see how much I’ve improved from junior year? I seriously messed up junior year :confused: </p>

<p>But thanks so much for all the feedback! I have a lot more hope now :)</p>
