<p>Will chance back! :open_mouth: This is my first post. Also wondering about UCSD, Stanford, etc. (anything you think I have a good chance of getting into)</p>

<p>I think you’ll get into all the lower and middle tier UC’s … upper tier you could is gonna be really tough; look into taking chemistry at a community college some time in the fall or winter or spring to make up for that C and 2 on the AP and im sure itll be an easy A since you already took it and studied a lot for im guessing… just incase you need to appeal … on the school you got rejected to, but really wanted to go there :stuck_out_tongue: your sat 2 scores seem sort of low except for the 730 one… and your 1980 for SAT I looks like your gonna have a lot of competition to go up against lol. but since the UCs looks for a whole lot of diversity haha like your actress award which i think is awesome lol and i believe middle tier UC’s automatically accept you if your in the top 5% of your school. If anything just write a dam well good essay starting now … so you have that much time to proof read and find whats missing :P</p>

<p>so yah </p>

<p>UCSD
UCD
UCI
UCSB </p>

<p>are the for sure ones you’ll get into LA and UCB you never know but judging from your list of things i say you have a pretty high chance over all =)</p>

<p>Haha thank you so much! :smiley: I’ll definitely take your suggestions into mind (already started on personal statement yay ^_^), and I like the way you worded your reply, which gave me good advice but was nice at teh same time. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Yeah the mid-lower tier UCs should accept you. UCLA/Cal will be reaches, but they are possible. Many people have done it before. Good luck!</p>

<p>:) Thank you very much! I’m going to try really hard, haha, I’ve been wanting to go to UCLA since my brother went 10 years ago. :P</p>

<p>I guess I’m going to bump this. Curious to know what y’all think! This is also posted in the UCLA forum. :)</p>
