<p>I know I messed up sophomore year (especially with that Physics class). I'm thinking of re-taking it senior year to raise my GPA, but only if I have room for it. </p>

<p>It might be hard to tell without any SAT scores, but how are things looking so far?</p>

<p>Well, UC’s check sophmore and junior year grades. And according to statistics, your gpa is below the average from submitted aplicants. Do really well in your junior year for the semester grades. Also, you should try to find out your augmented/weighted GPA.</p>

<p>I do believe you have a decent chance for each of those UC’s, but if your grades and tests are like what they are now, then your personal statement will have to be your game winner…</p>
