My Chances at UCB/UCLA/UCSD

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys...just wondering if someone could help me out on this one...</p>

<p>I just completed my freshman year at a community college here in california, and although I had a less than stellar academic record in HS (only managed a 3.0 gpa), I've stepped it up a notch in my first year of CC.</p>

<p>I've got a 3.8 gpa, 1250 SAT, and have had work experience with two major retailers...the one I'm working for now I work at about 24 hrs/wk. I also find time to volunteer at the local homeless shelter and library on weekends. </p>

<p>And I've made sure to follow IGETC closely...so...assuming I keep my gpa up and everything in my sophomore year, whaddya think my chances are of getting into uc berkeley, ucla, or ucsd as an english major??</p>

<p>appreciate the help...</p>

<p>If that was your High school GPA and highschool SAT, I would say that all of those schools are probably reaches, with san Diego being the most likely. However, since you are taking those classes at college level ( be it cc) I think you have about a 25 % chance at all of them. I'm not quite sure... but i think thats about right. BUT, for examle, I know that graduation from the local CC in Santa Cruz means almost for sure acceptance into UCSC. Where is your CC?</p>

<p>Based on your high school stats,
UCB: Reach
UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach</p>

<p>oh yea forgot to mention that the 3.8 gpa is my college gpa after my freshman year. that sat score though is from my senior year in high school. i plan on transferring after my sophomore year...</p>

<p>UCB, UCLA, and UCSD are all reaches. But anything else like UCI, UCSB, UCD etc... are matches.</p>

7

<p>If you keep that 3.8 GPA at the CC, I think that you will be able to get into all three.</p>

8

<p>UCB no
UCLA slight reach
UCSD maybe</p>

<p>UCSBs don't take SAT scores or high school GPAs for transfer students. A 3.8 is in the match/slight reach area.</p>
