<p>UCD & UCI had an average GPA of about 3.97 or something like that for last year admissions. </p>

<p>Unfortunately you fall below this. However your SAT I scores are right where the average is for the colleges. If you could, retake the SAT and then score higher like 2100+ I’d say you’re guaranteed. </p>

<p>If you can’t retake SAT I then don’t worry but you should definitely retake SAT USH if you think you did that poorly. </p>

<p>Also you have great EC activities so I wouldn’t worry about that and because of your great ECs I give you the following:</p>

<p>UCD: match/ low reach (cause of gpa)
UCI high match/ low reach (its a little harder than UCD)</p>

<p>Chance me please :D</p>

<p>thanks for your replies guys. I just contacted UCD’s office and they calculated my GPA for me so here’s what they came up with:</p>

<p>UW: 3.14 (LOL pi)
UC Weighted: 3.45</p>

<p>Does that affect my chances by much? And yes, i’ll be writing a very good college essay about my life experiences too.</p>
