<p>"Don't know probably top 85%"
You mean top 15%? If not, then your chances aren't very high.</p>
<p>Major?</p>
<p>Probably undeclared.
I don't really know what the percentage is. 85% was just a terrible 'guestimate'.</p>
<p>i think u gotta an okay shot, just make sure ur writing score is 700+ next time u take it cuz UC schools mandated the new writing section, so they'll want u to do well on it. 800s on both math 1 and 2c is fine</p>

<p>you guys shouldn't waste your time posting stats because stats are not everything and the UCs know this. instead work on your essay. the essay is the most crucial part of the application. seriously. work on your essay alot. get feedback from friends and adults especially. edit as necessary. take out the fluff and just be yourself. don't sweat it seriously because it's not worth it.</p>

<p>^ Pretty much in. Only concern is the UW GPA, but your other stats should be more than enough to compensate for that.</p>
<p>purplechick, actually stats and numbers are REALLY important at the UC's. they're big schools. they use forumulas. they really don't have time to read throug EVERYTHIGN and get to know applicants. that's why they dont' do interviews or ask for recs.</p>
