<p>I was wondering what my chances are of getting into UC Riverside and I'm also going to try to get into UC Irvine but I don't think I have much of a chance there. I was planning on majoring in Electrical Engineering. Also I going to take the SAT again this October. I'm a Male Asian Indian with a low family income (under 60k a year).</p>
<p>GPA (unweighted and weighted): 3.51
SAT Reasoning Test Total: 1550
Critical Reading: 530
Mathematics: 530
Writing: 490
SAT Subject Tests:
Chemistry: 530
U.S. History: 580</p>
<p>I was going to take Math Level 2 but I was told it has Trig on it and I'm taking that my senior year. So what are my chances of getting in? Also are there any another UCs you think I can get into?</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>I’d appreciate a chance. Thanks</p>
<p>Hi. It would help to see your courses, but going strictly by the numbers, which these schools tend to focus on, you should have a good shot, as your numbers are competitively in range for UC Riverside. For UC Irvine, you have a shot, but you need to bring up your SAT scores a bit to be in a comfortable range. If you can bring up your SAT scores by about 100 points, you should have a much better chance of acceptance at Irvine. By the way, these schools also focus very heavily on class rank, so you should be in the top 10% of your class to be competitive, or at least top 20%. Good luck. Please give me advice as well.</p>

<p>im sorry to burst your bubble, but you have zero shot at uc irvine. Just wanted to clear that up. You do have a shot at riverside. If you bring you SAT up 100 you would have a better shot there, but still no guarentee. </p>
<p>You should apply to merced and santa cruz, you should get into atleast one.</p>
<p>Alright thanks for the advice, hopefully I’ll be able to get my SAT scores up.</p>
