Chances of UCLA/UCB/AU/GW

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

What are my chances of getting into George Washington University and or UCLA/UCBerk if anybody knows one of the three? I’m from Massachusetts, I have a 3.6 unweighted GPA ( I’m unsure of my weighted GPA but it’s well over 4), getting mostly A-'s throughout high school, getting only 4 B’s. I’ve taken 10 ap/college courses (we’re able to take courses a college called smith college right down the street from us), and the rest of which being honors courses but only a few classes. My SAT score is a 2000 (750 math, 630 reading, 620 writing) and i want to be a statistics/economics major if that matters. I don’t really want to list my EC’s but there are tons of clubs/volunteer works/jobs/and sports on my resume. Two of my college recs were OUTSTANDING and one decent. My UC essays were very good, and my common app was stellar.

Also my UC unweighted GPA is a 3.8 UW and 4.25 Weighted (but that’s due to the UC’s not weighting non California honors courses) and my highest SAT score in one sitting was a 1970.

My Ap’s/college courses with grade and Ap score are

Sophomore year: Ap Chem 90 and a 4

Junior: Us History 85, 4
Statistics. 93, 4
Microeconomics: 96, 5
English Language and Comp, 87, 5
Spanish 120 at Smith college: A-

Senior Year: Ap Physics C - 95,
Calc BC - 80
Macroeconomics at smith college - A
English Lit and comp - next semester
no AP tests yet

EC’s consist of:3 yrs varsity baseball (captain)
3 years varsiy basketball
National Hnr society for two years
4 years best buddy member
Key Club (essentially a community service organization)
many work experiences
tutor
many volunteer experiences
many awards for school - Jane Adams award (free tuition at our state colleges)
AP Scholar w/distinction
interned for multiple psychiatrists in which i got to do much statistical analysis, probability, etc ( and i want to be a stats/econ major so that would have been great.)
created a website for a Sophomore/Junior Physics course at my high school-- creating docs, finding the answers, posting online, basically teaching the class without actually being able to teach the students.

you have a really good chance at UCLA, and a moderate chance at UCB. It depends on your major, but I feel you have a decent chance. Can you chance me back- http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1740329-computer-science-at-uiuc.html#latest

UCB: Reach
UCLA: Low Reach

SAT low for both schools.

I actually think you have a good chance at UCB over UCLA and definitely getting into GWU. Maybe retake the SAT one more time and maybe try the ACT.

@alexaellis‌ why do you think i have a better chance for UCB than UCLA? and sadly I’m a senior and wasn’t able to retake the SAT/ACT this year due to personal reasons :frowning:

UCLA is getting more and more particular with there application process and now it’s actually a little bit easier to get into Berkeley over UCLA.

11

Also are you OOS for Berk and LA or in state?

12

AU GW are matches!
UCLA UCB low reach

13

I’m OOS, from Mass. @alexaellis‌

Thanks @bboy219‌ !

Maybe you should look into USC also because you can receive FA for it unlike the UC’s

16

It’s too late to apply to USC sadly :confused: my sister is up there and im visiting her tomorrow! Also, they didn’t have one of my two majors (stats and econ with USC not having Stats)

My sister got into UC Berkeley last year with a 3.9 UW UC GPA and a 4.3 W UC GPA. However, she didn’t get into UCLA, I’m guessing because of her SAT score. She got around 1800 I’m pretty sure. But her essays were outstanding because she’s a great writer and her teacher’s adored her, so she got into Berkeley. Because of the UC’s holistic review, I think you have a good 50/50 shot. I wish you the best of luck!

@keegeepetey1998‌ Hmmm so with lower test scores but better essays, Berkley is actually easier? Good to know, thank you!

American 83% chance (normal 43%)
George Washington 66% chance (normal 33%)
UCLA 48% chance (normal 22%)
UCB 38% chance (normal 18%)

UCB and UCLA are mid and low reaches.
You should be able to get into George washington however.
