I think that’s all. If anyone accepted can share their own stats or just tell me what you think, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Your GPA is great. However, your SAT alone would give these schools reason to reject you, so I wouldn’t be “fairly confident,” especially for Berkeley. Your SAT is very low for Berkeley but what’s really concerning is the extremely low 340 in reading. That would give every college pause.
I’m not familiar with UC test score policies. However, if you don’t have to send all, you should ONLY send the ACT, and NOT SAT or SAT subject tests.
With your ACT ONLY and your GPA, I’d rank these schools as:
Send only your ACT since your SAT scores are low for UCLA and UCB. Also I think you are over estimating your chances at UCLA/UCB.
I agree with the above poster ^^^ but would put UCLA and UCB as Low Reaches.
Your GPA is in the 75th percentile (W GPA) and your ACT of 32 is above average (Average is a 31) a don’t send in your SAT, because it’s significantly lower then your ACT. not sure what stats others are looking at but I pulled this straight off of UCLAs website. Your UW GPA is average for UCLA students as well. So I would say you are anywhere from a match- high match, all the other UCs you are in the 75th percentile (even a little higher) for scores and GPA.
