I would just like to know what are my chances of getting into UC Davis
UC GPA-4.23

Your stats definitely make you a competitive applicant. I think UC Davis is probably a solid Match school for you. Make sure you put some thought into your personal insight essays and best of luck.
Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 4.20 or above: UCD: 91%
Thank you for your insight
From what I know, you may get automatic acceptance if you are in the top ten percent of your HS class (if in California). Also, consider applying for their honors program (called Integrated Studies). They get access to better dorms, first dibs at signing up for most classes and a wonderful community.
@Chocolate-Taco, if a student is in the top 9% of their high school class, they are not automatically accepted into their desired UC.
It’s called **Eligibility in the Local Context **which means that a student has met the minimum requirements in HS coursework and grades to enter a UC. It does not mean the student is automatically admitted into their desired university; the student is given the option to attend a UC with open spaces, which at this time is Merced. http://www.ucop.edu/student-affairs/programs-and-initiatives/undergraduate-admissions/eligibility-local-context.html
Otherwise, why bother to apply to UC schools? You could just pick a school and tell the UC, “I’m going to your school”.
@Chocolate-Taco you don’t need to apply to the University Honors Program (UHP). They will accept you based on your UC application. http://honors.ucdavis.edu/prospective/incoming_students/index.html
From what I have seen in this past years admissions, the majority of students accepted into UHP had an ACT of 33 or above/SAT of 1440 or above.
@“aunt bea” Thanks so much for clarifying! That does make sense!
@lkg4answers Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind
