Hey guys! So I’ve been pretty depressed over school and it’s senior year. I didn’t do so well. I was so wondering what do you all think of my chances to get into UCI? I just really want to go there.
GPA:
Freshmen: 4.17 and 4.17
Sophomore: 3.6 and 3.8
Junior: 4 and 4
Senior: 3.6
SAT: 1260
EC: Service clubs with over 400 hours and I’m in like 4 clubs and library volunteering. I also play volleyball.

I’m majoring in finance btw

Welcome to college confidential. UC’s will only use 10-11th grades for the GPA calculation but will look at your Freshman grades to make sure you have completed and passed the a-g courses. Senior grades will maintain your provisional admission if accepted but not considered in your admission decision.

If you could please calculate your UC GPA and post your capped weighted, unweighted and fully weighted, it would be more helpful to chance you.

HS course rigor such as # of AP/IB or DE courses taken?

The average UC GPA capped weighted for the School of Business 2018 was 4.09 and average SAT was 1356 for statistical comparison.

UCI will definitely not be an easy admit since their Business school is highly competitive.

Hello,

I have a similar question to the earlier post as well. I have applied for the Finance major (or Business Administration) at UCI and was stressing out if I can get in or not.

My Stats are:

  • 3.44 UW GPA, 3.7 W & Capped GPA
  • 9 honors points total (4/9 in junior year, other 5 senior year), 6 APs total, quite a few honors classes
  • Moved from Canada sophomore year to a very rigorous school in SoCal
  • 26 ACT (low score after two attempts)
  • President of DECA Business organization at school, French Club, secretary for Speech and Debate team, a lot of other involvement in other clubs on campus.
  • 50 volunteer hours (low, but sufficient in a way) at various locations
  • Formerly on Curling team freshman year in Canada and basketball team (like JV).
  • Good essays
  • Improvement in GPA each year with fairly rigorous course load

@shahk3949: Since you are new poster, you should know that asking for chances on another posters thread is considered rude by the CC community. You should start your own thread if you want to be chanced.

Hey guys, @Ihavebluejeans17 @shahk3949

Current UCI freshman here. I will tell you guys that Buissness Admin is one of the two hardest schools to get into and arguably the hardest major to get into (maybe CS is harder). It’s hard to say what will make or break in the Holistic review, but I will say that many students last year with higher GPA and SAT/ACT got did not make it into the major (including me). So while no one can say for sure. I will say that it will be a very steep hill to climb. An okay chance in BA will need a 1400+ and probably UC GPA of 4+.

Don’t give up hope tho! Just know that it will be tough. It’s just unfortunate how fast scores are rising
