<p>Well I just got my SATII score and would like to see what my chances are of being admitted to these 3 UCs. My UC gpa is 3.6. My SATI score is 1970; SATII scores are Spanish 600 (no es bueno) and Math IIc 710. I have about 300 hours of community service working with Special Ed kids and organizing a toy drive for homeless kids. I think that my essay is pretty good. Will I be disappointed my decision letters in March?</p>
<p>UCSB - Match</p>
<p>UCD - Safe Match</p>
<p>UCI - Match</p>
<p>Any other feedback? Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Hello out there. Can I please get more feedback?</p>
<p>what more feedback do u need? whichever uc you live closest to will be ur safe match. the others will be match-slight reach.</p>
<p>^ What is he talking about??</p>
<p>^ do u not know how the uc closest to your location gives you priority? if you live in la, ucla will most likey accept you over ucb because of location and vice versa. if you live in irvine, you'll have a better shot at getting in at uci over ucd. obviously u didn't know that.</p>
<p>Your right. I never heard about the UC's giving priority to applicants that live nearby. Since Oakland is close to Davis, I guess that UCD would be the one. Of course Berkeley is 10 minutes from my house, but there is no realistic way I'd get in there, so I didn't even apply. By the way, where did you learn of this close proximity rule?</p>
<p>bman knows absolutely nothing of what he is talking about.
place of residence is considered into the admissions process no further than the preliminary seperation of in-state and out-of-state kids.
rumors rumors rumors...</p>
<p>i've lived in california the majority of my life.
so far this is the very first time that i've heard anything of the sort when it comes to UC admissions. if there is any evidence out there to support your claim other than something you heard from some counselor at some high school that was passed down the chain from some UC rep (of the i dont know how many) then i apoligize for putting down your point.
however, the only set requirements that UCs have to fulfill is to provide for california state students (and not discriminate/distinguish between different districts) in general. in addition i am certain that the UCs do not work in coordination with eachother during the admissions period. i could imagine that if they did do all these things with the hundreds of thousands of applicants they received they would be quite overwhelmed. in any case that's all beside the point..</p>
<p>if you want my opinion i think there's nothing really from keeping you in getting into all of those UC's except for your gpa. it's all relative though because if you took a bunch of APs and that's your gpa capped at 3.6 then they'll look more favorably at you.
good luck!</p>

<p>This is not true. Not in the least bit. Please offer a source that states this.</p>
