<p>Why ask how bad? You have a 3.8, you sound pretty smart. Anyway, based solely on a few stats, it's hard to say (I can't take for granted that your essays are good no matter what you say - it only matters what your readers think). Not a great ACT, but I'm better at figuring out SATs, since I'm more familiar. Do you have community service? Awards? Leadership in your clubs, football, or track? Was the summer school high school or CC classes?</p>

<p>well the 3.8 is the UC scale, where they add like 1 point to your grades, i'm a good student, not great, but not bad. </p>

<p>i do have 75 hours of comm. service over 3 years, and i did get 2 awards. i was a team captain in football and track, and i took summer school classes at a CC</p>

<p>Well now you look a lot better. I agree with flopsy, but with convincing essays you can do a lot. Good luck, you have a decent shot. :)</p>
