<p>UC San Diego: likely
UC Davis: Likely
Georgia Tech: Possible- more difficult though
Urbana Champagne: likely/possible
UT Austin: possible/reach
Purdue: likely
UMich: if youre referring to Ann Arbor its going to be a reach</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>I think you will definitely get into UC San Diego, UC Davis, and Purdue. UT Austin is a pretty good match since you’re right at their average ACT, but Urbana Champagne, UMich, and Georgia Tech are probably possible/reaches. By the way, my friend is at Georgia Tech for engineering and absolutely loves it. I’d appreciate if you could chance me back. Thanks and good luck!!</p>
<p>UC San Diego is not definite. 4.04 capped UC GPA is below UCSD’s average of 4.13.</p>
<p>I think I should have used “likely” instead of definite. I think you stand a very solid chance though because of your above average ACT score and 8 AP classes. They’ll recognize the rigor paired with the GPA.</p>
<p>also can you follow through on the chance back please</p>

The UCs do not care much about rigor and test scores.</p>
<p>The rigor is often cancelled out by the weighted cap that most UCs use to calculate GPA.</p>
<p>“UC calculates a weighted GPA limited to 4 years of honors courses with no more than 2 years of 10th grade honors courses. In other words, for a semester calendar, which many U.S. schools use, 8 semesters of honors points with no more than 4 semesters of honors points from courses completed in the 10th grade.”</p>
<p>The UCs care even less about test scores (perhaps the ACT is different though).</p>

<p>@Mangiafuoco Oh, thanks! Sorry, wasn’t aware of that.</p>
<p>Will do as soon as I get home</p>
<p>GT is a low reach due to the UW GPA and ACT. I’m a freshman at GT so feel free to ask me any questions</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>I’d say you’re pretty solid on UT Austin- that’s about where there scores/GPA averages are</p>
<p>UC San Diego: match/ high match
UC Davis: match/high match
Georgia Tech: match
Urbana Champagne: match
UT Austin: low match
Purdue: match/highmatch
UMich: reach</p>
<p>chance back?</p>
im sorry im nervous guys 
could anyone chance me? Correction though I applied to UCSD for molecular biology.
