<p>Oh, I forgot to add that I’m the first in my family to go to college in America. But I don’t know if that’ll affect my chances</p>

3

<p>The UCs really care about GPA, so you will probably be rejected.</p>

4

<p>Is the GPA supposed to include freshman yr grades & senior yr grades? Or is it only supposed to include sophomore & junior yr?</p>

5

<p>@sherlocked4812‌
The GPA for the UCs only includes sophomore and junior year.</p>

6

<p>Thanks, I didn’t know that. Then my unweighted GPA is 3.67.</p>

7

<p>Anyone have other opinions?</p>

8

<p>I think you’ll be accepted. Btw what is </p>

9

<p>Your class rank?</p>

10

<p>My high school actually doesn’t tell us our class rank, but I’d estimate it to be top 15%</p>

11

<p>Calculate your Weighted UC GPA, see link:<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
If your UC GPA is 4.0 with your ACT score, you have a good chance.</p>

12

<p>The first generation that I know were accepted to UCLA has one B or two Bs at most, so I wouldn’t count too much on the first generation.</p>

13

<p>UCSD maybe. UCLA and Berkeley are very tough. Are you a citizen or permanent resident? It does make a difference.</p>

14

<p>My UC GPA is a 3.9 & I’m a citizen.</p>

15

<p>UCSD, UCSB, UCDavis, UCI, UCSC are good because of that ACT score. UCLA and Berkeley and just too tough based on your GPA and low AP scores (compared to other California kids). </p>

16

<p>Based on the replies, I’ll apply for UCLA & UCB as my reach schools then. Here’s to hoping [-O< Thanks for all the replies guys. They all helped a lot.</p>

17

<p>I’ll check the previous year admit rate for UC GPA, IIRC, UCSD was slightly lower than UCLA but not much, something like 4.13 vs 4.17. UCs care a lot more about GPA than standardized test scores.</p>

You should apply to UCSB because it seems to be the only UC that really favors students with high test scores. I had a 2300 SAT score and a low 4.00 UCGPA. Among the mid-tier and high-tier UCs, UCSB was the only UC that accepted me. UCB, UCLA, and UCSD were also my dream schools. :(( </p>

<p>mangia, did you get any money with that SAT score, just curious.</p>
