I was a 4.3 and 2150 applying last year to the UC’s and currently attending UC Berkeley. Based on your test scores and GPA, you should get into all the CSU’s and the majority of the UC’s. While your experience and test scores are well above average, in order to get a lock to UCLA and UC Berkeley, work to get your weighted GPA up a little bit. If it remains the same, you are still in a very good position and are very competitive as it stands now.

Thank you so much! I don’t think my GPA can change much, unfortunately. Do you think i have a shot at UCSD?

Yes, I think I would say that you have a good shot at getting accepted to UCSD.
