NY Student, high SAT, hard classes, medium gpa :(

<p>is that weighted or unweighted GPA??
and is it public or private schools that generally use re-calculate using unweighted...?</p>

<p>The UCs are pretty formulaic. A higher SAT score does help. You need to calculate your UC GPA (UCpathways web site explains) and plug your numbers into the UC formula you can find by searching this site. The wild card is how being OOS effects you. Lots will say your stats need to be considerably higher than those of in state kids, but I've seen OOS kids get in with the average stats for the schools and the UCs really need OOS full paying kids now, so who knows.</p>
