Is UC Davis a reasonable shot?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, I am wondering what my chances at Davis are like.
Private School in CA
GPA-3.8
ACT-32
Math II-750
AP- English Lang-5, Bio-4, US-5.</p>

<p>Appreciate it!</p>

<p>Welll, your scores match…GPA on the low side…any more APs? How about ECs? Need more info…</p>

3

<p>Taking Physics, Spanish, Econ Macro/Micro, English Lit. this year. EC’s are very average. Hospital volunteering, tennis team, 2 immersion trips to 3rd world countries, random school clubs</p>

4

<p>bump, any more input would be greatly appreciated</p>

5

<p>Are you ELC eligible? Is your UC GPA a 3.8?</p>

6

<p>Not ELC eligible, unfortunately. Yes, UC GPA is a 3.8.</p>

7

<p>Yeah…I think you have a shot (a bit of a reach, but completely possible).</p>

8

<p>What’s your class rank?</p>

9

<p>Our school doesn’t rank, but definitely somewhere in the top 20%</p>

10

<p>What is your intended major? Most likely you are in. A 32 ACT and 750 Math II will certainly help you. You are in the 95th to 99th percentile. A 3.8 is very acceptable. It is a total match.</p>

11

<p>The two responses I’ve gotten so far seem a little contradictory…anyone else have input?</p>

12

<p>You’ll make it :)</p>

<p>UCD has a pretty high acceptance rate…</p>

<p>If you want to see what the UC acceptance rate is for someone who matches your profile go to the link below, click on “Custom Tables”, answer a bunch of questions, and enter up to 3 “mean characteristics” at a time (GPA, overall SAT score, etc.) to see what the admit rates at Davis and all the UCs are:</p>

<p>[University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/)</p>

<p>I’m thinking that your chances of acceptance are pretty good and wish you the best of luck!</p>

14

<p>Do you have Naviance? At my D’s private school with those stats UC Davis would be a safety.</p>

15

<p>My son’s UC GPA is 4.2, and ACT is 34. When S and I attended a free 30 min professional counseling service two months back, we were told that Davis is son’s safety. I wonder…</p>

16

<p>I think you are ok for UC Davis. I think the average UC GPA is around 3.8ish for Davis.</p>

17

<p>^ 3.99 in 2010. 46% admit rate.</p>

<p>Not specific to any particular high school.</p>

18

<p>^the average is 3.8 for the uw GPA, but there are few students with 3.8 w GPA that were admitted from our high school naviance.</p>

19

<p>So the average is 3.8 unweighted, 3.8 weighted uncapped, or 3.8 UC GPA? Do you mean for your HS?</p>

<p>I have seen unweighted data for UCLA, but not other UC’s. Where can I find that?</p>
