Chanes @ the higher UCs

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello, any help here would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently a California resident, of North-African origin, at a very competitive school in central CA. I'm curious as to my chances at these schools:
UCB, UCLA, UCI, UCD, and UCSD.</p>

<p>10th grade gpa = 3.7(uw)</p>

<p>so far for 11th my classes are as follows, and the estimated grades (in AP classes, As are worth 5.0, Bs are 4.0, etc - each is 1 higher than non-ap):
3.83 UW - 4.3 W
AP Calculus 1 - B
AP Economics - A
AP US History - A
English III - A
French III - A
Physics - A</p>

<p>12th grade planned classes:
AP Govt/Psychology
AP Calculus 2
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
English III
French 4 (A is 5.0, etc., like AP classes)</p>

<p>^^
Assuming I actually get those above grades, and relatively decent ACT/SAT I/II scores, can someone please give me my chanes?</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks</p>

<p>10th grade gpa = 3.7(uw)
and ur 11th grade weighted class is only 3 how is ur weighted 4.3? </p>

<p>and they dont weight ur freshmen and sophomore grades even if its AS/Hs. i donno just donest add up. bc i took 5 weigthed and got 4 As in those and have a 4.1 with a 4.0 as my sophomore grades. <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>other than that.</p>

<p>if decent SAT scores means...1900+</p>

<p>u have very good chance at all of them </p>

<p>UCB reach/slight reach
UCLA reach/slight reach
UCI, UCD saftey
UCSD. match</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. For my 11th grade GPA it would go like this:</p>

<p>4+5+5+4+4+4=26
26/6=4.33 W
3+4+4+4+4+4=23
23/6=3.83 UW</p>

<p>And yes, I'm hoping for a score somewhere in there. Thanks!</p>

<p>1900+ isn't good enough for UCLA and UCB</p>

<p>you're gonna need at least a 2100 given your GPA (don't worry, my UC GPA is horrible too -_-)</p>

5

<p>2150 or more with your gpa will put you at a match</p>

<p>Ah okay, thanks very much. Do you guys reccomend any certain books or courses to raise the SAT scores? Also, can someone please explain how UC GPA is calculated? I'm somewhat confused as to how it works :(</p>

<p>The UC GPA is calculated by doing just what you did, only making sure that you only add the one extra grade point per class for the first eight honors/AP/IB classes you take in the sophomore and junior years. Since you only have six such courses, you've figured it correctly. Your overall UC GPA is right around 4.0 for the two years combined. Along with a 1950+ that would get you into UCSD, but not UCLA or UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>chronic and FastMed have it exactly right--you'll need about a 2100 to 2150+ to get into UCLA or UC Berkeley.</p>

<p>As far as study materials, I suggest the book "10 Real SATs". Nothing like studying using the real thing under real timed conditions.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you. This may be a dumb question, but does that book come with the answers, because I didn't see it :P</p>

<p>Also, would a SAT score like that put me at a reach or match or what?</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>^^ Thanks! Is that based on a 2150 SAT score or the 1900?</p>

11

<p>really your fine wiht a 2000+ for UCB and UCLA. </p>

<p>its not THAT hard. of course a 2150 would be nice and woudl probably seal the deal. its okay to have a bite more hope :).</p>

<p>I see, thanks!</p>
