<p>hey everyone. im a junior and i want to go to ucsc. by the end of my senior year i will have taken 8 AP courses. my avg. weighted gpa will probably be around 3.5-3.7. also, i just got my SAT scores back today: 1960.
As for ECs, i have 3 years of wrestling(freshman, soph, junior)</p>
<p>what do you think my chances are of acceptance?</p>
<p>thanks,
-dan</p>
<p>You seem to be in a very good spot for acceptance. :)</p>
<p>cool, thank you. anyone else have an opinion?</p>
<p>im bumping this because i want some more opinions</p>
<p>i had a 3.8 and 1980 and got in for next year. i know people with lower stats who got in as well, you should be good.</p>
<p>Your SAT I score is solid and your Extra Curriculars are fine. However, note that the application for UCs is submitted before you receive any grades from your senior year (assuming you’re on a semester system). Therefore, UCs do not consider senior year grades in admissions.</p>
<p>Having said that, taking AP classes definitely shows your willingness to take challenging courses. The only thing I can recommend is to really try to push for as high a GPA as you can by the end of this year and spend a lot of time on your personal statements come application time. You’re in a good position now, but focusing on these will get ensure your admission. Good luck!</p>
<p>UCSC GPA stats: 3.25-3.49 - 24% of admitted students, 3.5-3.74 - 37% of admitted students
UCSC SAT I stats: 1530 - 1890 for middle 50% of first year students

<p>thank you both. and fifthbeatle, thanks for the stats</p>
<p>You should be fine! Better stats than me. I got in w/ a 3.7 UC gpa and 1600 SAT </p>
<p>Try to get really good grades by the end of your junior year. UC gpa is only 10th and 11th grade. Make it as best as you can. I regret not pushing for the extra As i could’ve gotten. I had a bunch of borderline grades in 10th grade form B to A, but i just got the Bs -___- So much regret. You have APs so that looks good.</p>
<p>okay so i’ve just determined that my uc gpa ia 3.55. although im fairly sure that the UC system will not count my D in math in the calculation and will use the repeated grade which will improve it. but is this a good gpa? where can i get in with it?</p>
<p>^^i accidentally posted that in the wrong thread lol. still answer though please :)</p>
