My Chances @ UCs in California

<p>This is what I'd see, just going by GPA (since it's most important, and nothing else in the application really outshines it):</p>

<p>Reject: Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, UCSB
Accept: UCSC, UCR, UCM, UCD</p>

<p>Though it's possible, given the context of your school, that you'd get into UCSB and/or UCI also. I don't think the top 3 UCs are realistic.</p>

<p>KyleDavid80 is right on. Top tier UC's (UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD) are not realistic. I dont think the mid tier UC's are likely either. But you never know. Best of luck. I dont think you can call one of the mid tier UC's the fourth best by the way. Clearly UC Berkeley is number 1, UCLA is number 2, UCSD is number 3, this is not really debatable unless we are talking about specific majors or programs. But there is no clear number 4 UC between UCI/UCSB/UCD, as any of those three would have a legitimate argument and their numbers and very very very similar. Best of luck!</p>

<p>so a 3.1 WEIGHTED can get me into DAVIS? =D</p>

<p>im sorry, but it most likely will not get you into davis</p>

<p>no, im not talking to you...
i was asking Kyle David who said according to my GPA, i CAN get into Santa Cruz and Davis... so i was just verifying what he said.</p>

<p>and i am answering for him, a 3.1 is very low for UCD</p>

<p>You are making it seem like what he says is what actually will happen
811 out of 4298 people between a 3-3.29 got accepted. IN the following year you may be one of those, but there is less than a 1 in 5 chance that you are. So nothing is given.</p>

<p>And I think that given the context of the OP's school, Davis might be more forgiving. I'm not saying it's likely that he'll get in; he/she asked what I thought the results would be like. Davis isn't quite as selective as UCSB and UCI.</p>

<p>Davis admissions formula: <a href="http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_selection_process.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_selection_process.cfm&lt;/a>
In 2006 the cutoff score was 7550, I think. Add up your test scores, additional factors, and see where you stand.</p>

<p>I scored an 8475 (I didn't know how to calculate the #courses beyond 35, so I just put 10*50) would that mean I'm a match at Davis, factoring in that the cutoff has probably risen since 2006.</p>

<p>i got a question, in the UC Davis admissions formula, do senior yr courses count for semesters above 35? and is 1st-gen attendant meaning that i'm the 1st to possibly go to Davis?</p>

<p>1st gen would mean your parents didn't go to college. I don't know about the courses, I'd like to know myself.</p>

<p>Am I under individual initiative if I come from a low performing school, even if the 'low performance' is mostly the non asian minorities? Because we've been in an academic decline and might be taken over by the state, but SO many of the asians are going to college.</p>

<p>k thanks, and does ne1 have an answer about my other question, like do senior yr classes count towards the 35+ semesters?</p>

<p>Try to do well in your senior year, and it might help A LOT!</p>

<p>i didn't mean grades, i meant like when it gives pts for semesters beyond 35, do the senior yr classes figure into that 35+ count?</p>

<p>sports61kh u ask WAY TOO MANY questions in my own frigging thread -_-</p>

<p>^^ considering that that was some 4 months ago, you apparently don't care much for your own frigging thread. =p</p>

<p>XeN0cidE, UC's don't look at senior year grades until AFTER you're accepted. I wish they did though, it would help out my admissions factors a lot...</p>
