New Yorker's chances for UCs?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>UCs I'll be applying to: Berkeley, Los Angeles, Irvine, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Davis</p>

<p>I'm a white, middle class female in NY. Both of my parents have gone to college, and my dad has his master's, but my parents are divorced (relevant?)</p>

<p>I plan on going into Chemical Engineering with either a minor or double major in Computer Science
My SAT scores:
CR: 640
Math: 670
Writing: 730
Total: 2040</p>

<p>SAT II:
Chemistry: 750
US History: 750
Math II: Taking in October</p>

<p>Average:
94.8 unweighted/100.3 weighted
I looked up the 4.0 scale equivalents, but it said a 94.8 was a 4.0 so I wasn't sure.
Also I attend one of the top 1200 schools in the nation, top 150 in NY</p>

<p>All honors/APs in 9th, 10th, 11th
AP scores:
World History, 10th- 4
US History, 11th- 5
Chemistry, 11th- 4
Lit, 11th- 3</p>

<p>I took classes offered by local colleges in 11th:
SUNY Spanish: 4.0
SUNY Algebra: 4.0
SUNY Trig: 4.0</p>

<p>Classes I'll be taking senior year:
AP Lang
AP Calc
AP Bio
AP Gov't
Physics Honors
Conversational Spanish</p>

<p>ECs:
-Varsity Track for 9/10/11/12
-Debate Club for 9/10/11/12
-Yoga Club for 11
-Diabetes Fundraising for 11/12; Treasurer in 12
-Being an Informed, Active Student club for 9/10
-Math Honors Society for 10/11/12
-I have at least one job this summer that will likely continue through the school year</p>

<p>I'm retaking the SAT in November and I'll probably take the ACT as soon as I can.
My sister is also joining the military (Air Force), which may or may not be relevant.</p>

<p>I'm not sure of my chances because of my low SAT scores (for those schools) and the fact that I don't live in California. Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you!!</p>

<p>The UCs are expensive for OOS, can your family afford them?</p>

<p>Yeah, we’ll be able to afford them. My sister said she’ll be getting $30k/yr and is willing to help if needed.
But we’ll afford them :)</p>

<p>Just a quick note. The UCs now have a higher OOS acceptance rate than their in-state acceptance rate. I’m thinking this may be because of budget problems and the high OOS tuition. I think you have a decent/good chance at Berkeley and UCLA and an extremely good chance at the others.</p>

<p>Woo! Thank you very much! That makes me very happy. Haha</p>
