horrible gpa and sat

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>school in California. rank: bottom 60%ish</p>

<p>weighted gpa: 3.4ish? (honors, ap classes this year)</p>

<p>SAT reasoning: 1980, 1980
SAT2 Bio: 720
SAT2 Math2c: 760</p>

<p>ec:They are not really unique but not average. (I'll write them in if it will help determine)</p>

<p>jc courses:
business law: A
psych: B
macroecon: A
pre-calc: A</p>

<p>AP US history: 3</p>

<p>So, as you can see, I took precalc at a local jc because I got a D both semesters in my honors precalc class. yeah...big mistake. </p>

<p>I'm applying to only UC's. Seeing as I won't get into Berkeley or LA, what are my chances with say, UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCD? I would like to get into UCI or UCSB. </p>

<p>So, what are my chances?</p>

2

<p>UCI, match / slight reach(gpa)
UCSD, reach
UCSB, match / slight reach(gpa)
UCD match</p>

3

<p>so if it’s a slight reach, what exactly can i do, if anything, to make it possible.</p>

4

<p>Write an incredibly good essay and hope that your recommendations are phenomenal.</p>

5

<p>There are you recommendations for the UCs.</p>

6

<p>UC’s don’t require rec. letters. would it matter which major I plan on taking? (which will probably be business and management focus on accounting)</p>
