<p>can i say bump?</p>

3

<p>What's your intended major?</p>

4

<p>Can you tell me my chances for biz econ, chem, and bio? I think my college econ transcript would affect my chances of getting in pre-biz econ at LA? For the privates, I'm planning on going accounting</p>

<p>Any Cal State/Cal Poly should be a safety for you. Based on grades/SATs, UCI, UCSB, UCSD are probably a match. At UCLA, you are at a slight disadvantage because you're Asian. Same might apply for USC -- those two might be a slight reach. Pepperdine and Claremont McKenna should be your "reach" schools.</p>

6

<p>^^the person above shouldnt be posting cause they have no idea what they are talking about. pepperdine is tougher than ucla and usc??? what on earth? </p>

<p>Claremont McKenna: Reach
UCLA: Reach (in state)
USC: Slight Reach-Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach (in state)</p>

<p>Should be in at everwhere else.</p>

<p>UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match-Safe Match (in state)
Pepperdine: Safe Match</p>

<p>What ACT score will put me at a safety for UCI, I'm kinda scared I won't get in. How is the biz econ program at Irvine anyway (rankings) and the internship opportunities related to business? Can you give me a website where there is a list of UCI's ranks in biochem, chem, and all that too? Thanks</p>

8

<p>can someone answer my question and give me more chances? thanks :)</p>

<p>I agree with ucchris's chances, except UCI, UCSB, and UCD might be considered safeties since you're an ELC student (and their admit rates for those students are near 100%).</p>
