<p>Guys i know it looks like i have no chance (and its probably true), im just making an attempt anyway. I just want some honest feedback because honestly i doubt i can get into any UC, but yea at least i know the truth instead of walking into this system blindly.</p>

<p>thank you for your advice.</p>

<p>D'you live in california? If so...</p>

<p>I think your SAT scores are fine for most of those colleges.. I dunno about UCSD. The GPA is a little low. I think the avg for UCSC is 3.67. But I think your SATs are fairly good for Santa Cruz. As far as I know, Irvine is pretty easy to get into, as is Riverside... I'd say you've got pretty reasonable chances with both of those. I know nothing about UCSB. </p>

<p>I'd say if you life in CA, you'll probably get in to one or more. But I'm not a college admissions expert.</p>

<p>yes i do live in california.</p>

<p>does anyone know my chances for uc irvine?</p>

<p>Hm...I have a brochure for the UC's, here's what it says about Irvine:</p>

<p>for a 3.4 GPA, admit rate is 22.5%
SAT Scores: middle 60%
The overall admit rate for Californians is 93.3%</p>

<p>Id say you have a pretty good shot!</p>

5

<p>Probably in @ Irvine :)</p>

6

<p>wait so xenon are you saying its overall a good acceptance because 93% of californians get in?
or cuz of my grades and stuff</p>

7

<p>Mostly because of the Californian acceptance rate.
However, I would bet that the averages for Californians are lower, but I dont have that data.</p>

<p>Dont get your hopes up yet, but I would say that you are probably in :)</p>
