Chances of getting into UCs?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I just received my first acceptance email, which was to San Diego State University. They said I was accepted early due to a program they have. I applied for a Bio major and I actually added that school to my list as a safety, but it turns out it has the second lowest acceptance rate in the CSU system behind Cal Poly. I feel a little bit guilty and I don't know why. Anyways, I also applied to all of the UCs. I would really like to go to a normal UC like Davis or Irvine and I don't expect to get into Berkley or UCLA without transferring, these were my reach schools. GPA wise, for CSU, it was a 4.0, my regular is a 3.6, and for UCs and Cal Poly I have no clue. </p>

<p>Anyways, what are my chances of getting into Cal Poly and any other UCs based off of my early acceptance to SDSU? I'm not dissing on SDSU, apparently it has the perfect lab setting due to its heavy research funding, even more than Cal Poly.</p>

<p>a 4.0 UC GPA with 1800+ SAT and decent ECs will make davis and irvine matches</p>

<p>Biology is very competitive for Cal Poly SLO (18% acceptance rate last year) and the UC’s. SDSU’s biology acceptance rate was around 32% last year.
Your CSU GPA is also your UC GPA, so you are a competitive applicant. What is your SAT? You would need at least a 1900 or higher for UC Davis but UC Irvine may be more lenient since your GPA is at 4.0. Good Luck.</p>

<p>You have a 3.6 unweighted GPA, so your CSU GPA with two decimal places is probably a little below 4.00. Biology is an impacted major, so UC Davis and UC Irvine appear to be your reaches. Can you post your CSU GPA with two decimal places? Test scores would be helpful too.</p>
