<p>Davis, Irvine, and SB are matches. If you apply to all three, you will almost definitly get into at least one. UCSD is a possibility, but I'd call it a slight reach judging by the given information. Check out the following page to see if you are eligible to receive some of the extra points:</p>

<p><a href="http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I think the cutoff for acceptances is usually above 7800. I calculate 6860 from the given information(excluding ECs). I have read that the acheivment points are not given very liberally, so make note of that when calculating. UC Davis has a similar selection process which can be found here: <a href="http://why.ucdavis.edu/admissions/froshAppCritSelProc.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://why.ucdavis.edu/admissions/froshAppCritSelProc.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You left out an important factor:</p>

<p>What will your major be? For social sciences i'd say it'd be a near guarantee for the middle UCs and a good chance for UCSD. However for Engineering, I feel your GPA and SAT II math is lacking.</p>

5

<p>Welll I actually wanna major in business, but I wanna stay in San Diego for 2 years and then maybe transfer to a better school for business like Cal. But I wanna get into UCSD. Im not planning on majoring in Engineering or anything like that. And if you dont mind me asking, what is social science?</p>

6

<p>Sociology, economics, history, anthro, psych, educ, polisci, etc. are considered social sciences.</p>

<p>Cal's business school (Haas) is really hard to get into (they're nation renowned). Furthermore, it's already hard to transfer from UC to UC. If I remember correctly UCB future business majors are required to apply undeclared (which makes it easier to get into), and then apply to Haas at the end of their second year (the hard part.)</p>

<p>Thus, if you're really serious about Business, it's better off just to apply to Berkeley straight on, but be prepared to work your butt off. If you don't get in at the end of your second year, tough; they'll force you to choose another major. </p>

<p>Someone please correct me if my info is wrong, or if the system has been updated, this was the info I heard from my friend 2 years ago, who was recently accepted to Haas. We don't talk anymore (she's my ex).</p>

7

<p>Ok well what if I transferred into Berkeley from a Community College applying for a business major. I really want to study business there thats why. Would that work for me?</p>

8

<p>UCSD: Reach</p>

9

<p>That I wouldn't really know, it'd be better to ask your counselor. I want to say it's a slim chance because there are plenty of 2 year Berkeley students studying at the school to get into Haas. Anyone else shine some light? Try asking in the Berkeley thread.</p>

10

<p>Yen, you are correct about the Haas system- it still is as you describe. OP, check out UCR, which also has business, or perhaps USC for anoter possible socal quality business school.</p>

11

<p>is that ur UC gpa or ur unweighted gpa?</p>

<p>if UC gpa then SD is a reach
if unweighted then SD is a slight match</p>

<p>*raise scores</p>

12

<p>The reality of the UC system is that it could get you into anyone of the Universities but it is more likely to get you into the six lower than the top two...but stranger things have happenned...and I am sure there is more to you than those numbers.</p>

13

<p>thanks for all the help you guys, and thats my non UC gpa like without the 8 extra pts. But I think Im gonna go to a community college and transfer over to Berkeley cuz theres nothin I really wanna study at UCSD. Do you think I can get into business at Berkeley after 2 years at community college?</p>

14

<p>you could transfer (its easier to transfer comm college to UC than from UC to UC) but there are risks and it'll be hard to go from comm college to berkley</p>

15

<p>why would it be hard to transfer to berkeley? I thought 95% of slots are open to community college students</p>

I'm speculating, In your particular case it might be because you need to actually apply to the school of Haas. Just because you go 2 years cc and transfer may mean you'll get into Berk, but doesn't mean you'll be accepted actually into Haas. That's why I said those who actually go 2 years at Berkeley applying for Haas will have a better resume i'm assuming. They'll have the opportunity to actually get involved in business programs offered on campus.</p>

17

<p>But can I do it? They would still accept me if I got good grades at a cc right?</p>

18

<p>Call Haas. If you're seriously considering this path, only their direct information is worth your time.</p>

<p>UCLA UCB UCSD - Somewhat Reach</p>

<p>The average gpa just for UCSD students is 4.01 ....</p>

<p>UCI UCSB UCD - Matches & Slight Reaches depending on campuses/majors</p>

<p>UCSC - SAFE</p>

<p>UCR/UCM - SUPER SAFETY</p>
