<p>What are my chances at any of the UC's? (preferrable the elite ones)</p>
<p>Ok sorry..I attend Berkeley right now actually (class of 2008)..</p>
<p>I was accepted to all of the UCs and got the Regents' Scholarship to three of them--so think i might be able to help u out (at the risk of sounding arrogant)</p>
<p>I have to ask--what is the new SAT about-- what exactly is 1850 out of 2400???/I mean percentile-wise???</p>
<p>aznballerlee:</p>
<p>UCLA/UCB: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCD/UCSB/UCI: Safe Match
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Safety</p>
<p>who so forgiving flopsy? b/c of the SAT II's?</p>
<p>UCLA and UCB will be a reach for you. Everywhere else you will have no problem...just make sure to write good essays! If you want LA or CAL, bump that SAT I score to atleast 2000</p>
<p>whoa whoa whoa whoa...just because of his SAT's its a reach? yea...me think so too. GPA (assuming UC GPA) is awesome. SAtII :awesome. extra curricular...eagle scout tells all as well as his 200 hour community service. but SAt..if you do get over 2000, you should be a match.</p>
<p>who so forgiving flopsy? b/c of the SAT II's?
You have excellent breadth of extracurriculars.</p>
<p>The low SAT 1 and not being in top 10% of class makes Cal and LA reaches. Only maybe 5% are not in top 10% and you can bet they're athletes. </p>
<p>What you have to understand is that a 4.25 at a school where it does not put you in the top 10% is not a "great" GPA by top UC standards. </p>
<p>The great SAT IIs will help and really write a great essay. I'd say you're shot at a top UC is probably UCSD.</p>
<p>bte 1850 sat is like 1200-1280 ish. About 80 something percentile.</p>
<p>hmm 1200-1280? That's probably not going to get u to Cal or LA... * I think the average is about 1350 or so???</p>
<p>But You have a good shot at UCSD I'd say.</p>
<p>what do reaches mean? what % chances?</p>
<p>and so only a boost to 2000 for SAT would get me into ucb and ucla?</p>
<p>Not "would", might. Read this year's boards. Many 1500s were rejected. </p>
<p>Again much will rest on GPA relative to your school (rare to be under 10%, most under 5%) and your essay.</p>
<p>IMO, your chances at the top 2 now are under 20% and maybe 35% at SD.</p>
<p>wow. 35 %. and i thought SD would be a safety.</p>
<p>SDs bio majors may be even harder to get into than Cal and LA's.</p>
<p>Your GPA I could somewhat understand. I have a friend who has the same gpa as you, but lower ranking just because the guys that go there are just too smart. UCB is somewhat a little weird this year with acceptances. I know a person who was accepted that had ~1280 and a 3.8 gpa with regular classes. He didn't have much or if not any that I know of EC's. Based on my experience UCLA and UCSD tend to accept people with stats like yours.</p>
<p>UCLA and UCB = match/slight reach
UCSD = safe match
everything else = Safety</p>
<p>bring up the sat...</p>
