<p>I wanna get in so bad ive wanted to go to UCI since 8th grade!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I know i should post this in wat are my chances but i wanted to ask you UCI Experts :D and they never reply.............</p>
<p>if i cant get in wat would be some good UC schools for me? Plz give me as safety, match, reach, etc.</p>
<p>Is that a weighted GPA?</p>
<p>I can't chance you (it's been too long since hs apps), but have you thought about CC? Or how many AP credits will you have?</p>
<p>wow CC? they're really that bad... dang...i thought maybe i had a decent chance at UCR? i dunno..... </p>
<p>yes it is weighted (as in counting honors and ap right?)</p>
<p>i took 1 ap 1 honor soph yr, 1 ap jr yr, and im taking 2 ap 1 hr next year</p>
<p>noonnoo didn't say your stats were bad, i was just speaking in general</p>
<p>SORRY if i made it seem like i thought they were bad. I honestly don't know what stats = what schools in terms of hs.</p>
<p>Hopefully someone else can chance you :)</p>
<p>Also what is your planned major?</p>
<p>well i want to do bio sciences but i know i have no chance with my stats...so i guess i'll apply as undeclared then switch to bio sciences lol (can u do that?)</p>
<p>Your SAT score is decent, I had a 2040 and got in, no extracurriculars, but with a 3.5 weighted.
I recommend taking those suject tests and the SAT again.
I took the SAT 3 times and it went up everytime. I retook SATII Math 2 and went from a 610 to a 770.</p>
<p>Try and improve in everything possible as your GPA is the only thing really restraining you but ironically the only thing you can't change.</p>
<p>get straight As first semester junior year and get that GPA up to at least 3.5 </p>
<p>then your in no doubt</p>
<p>hahaha im a junior right now......i got 3.0 first semester and it looks like im gonna get a 3.8 2nd semester.......but overall, my UC gpa will still come out to be around 3.0</p>
<p>UCI is definitely a reach with your GPA. You should be into UCR no problem though.</p>
<p>because of some mistakes i made in reporting my grades, my actual uc gpa was between a 2.9 and 3.0 ..... i didn't realize it until all the other uc's started rejecting me but i got into uc irvine anyways ... even tho it was sometime in april which was quite curious ... so yeah i think you have a small chance.</p>
<p>Take cc classes over summer to boost up your GPA</p>
<p>^^ replying to post above</p>
<p>it really depends on what high school you go to because i did take a class at a community college during high school and it wasn't added on to my HS gpa because frankly, they're not the same so i would check with ur school counselors first before taking a CC class just for for sake of raising gpa rather than to fulfill an intellectual interest :)</p>
<p>Also note that I was told by my counselor that if you take over a certain number of CC classes (or credits), you will no longer be considered a freshman applicant and instead treated as a transfer. You might want to consider UCR=>UCI as well, since its definitely not impossible and I don't think UCI is participating in the shared Merced program (meaning they probably won't cut back on transfer admissions)</p>
