oh say can UC...

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>so ive read on this site about a million times how the UC system is MOSTLY number based... so as an out-of-stater (seattle, WA), what are my chances with my grades:</p>

<p>3.85 (unweighted...my school doesnt weight)
1380
800 writing
700 lit
700 math 1c
690 math 2c</p>

<p>AND do they really not care about essays THAT much? because then i kind of want to just get this app over with and not spend THAT much time on essays. (and im not talking about doing a really BAD essay just to get it over with, i just mean not trying to make them all completely perfect)...</p>

<p>Uc's are expensive... go to UW.</p>

<p>I dont think it'll happen at top UC's best bets are that you'll get into Merced, UCRiverside and maybe Santa Cruz</p>

<p>Having taken in all the stuff on this board:</p>

<p>Berekley - reach
UCLA - slight reach
the rest - match/safety</p>

<p>w/ UCB and UCLA, me thinks the rest depends on 1)ECs and 2)essays.</p>

<p>yeah since the ucs dont take recs, you need to let the numbers do a lot more talking than at other schools, so for these schools higher sats are probably a safer bet. but good ecs and essays also help.</p>

6

<p>but for EC's they only leave you like 5 lines, when in reality, most people do more than 5 activities...so how are they supposed to base if off that? </p>

<p>and i thought UCSD wasnt that hard to get into!</p>

<p>rats</p>

<p>so if these Uc's arent gonna work for me lol...how about u mich, unc, or usc anyone?</p>
