<li>For this weighted GPA, it includes classes from middle school, non A-G classes, and freshman year.
** In all honesty, I'm not a good test taker. If you look at my reading scores for the SAT and ACT, they are really different. On the ACT, my best score is reading and on the SAT, my worst score is reading. On the third SAT tried, I studied really hard for the reading and writing, but still, I wasnt able to bring my scores up that much. How much would college admissioners look upon on my test scores? I'm just curious with these contrasting test scores...
*** There is a chance I may be recruited for the UCSD T&F team. I've been getting letters about the school, reminded me to apply, and I've gotten letters from them after I applied about my major and the courses I should take. Is this like a sign that I have a really high chance of getting in and competing for them? I'm just curious about this too and would like your opinions...</li>

<p>Thanks for chance me and I'll try to chance back! Just leave me a link here.</p>

<p>It really depends how well you are athletically. You’re SATs aren’t abysmal, but they aren’t steller either. You can have very low SATs/GPA and get in to any school full ride if you are THAT good at Track, but I can’t determine that, and it’s totally up to the schools. Don’t get me wrong, you still can get in to UCB or UCLA, but not purely by your academic stats. I’d say that they are all high reaches, expect for SDSU which is probably either a match or low reach. Good luck though…</p>

<p>UCLA- reach
UCB- reach
UCSD***- reach
UCI- low reach
UCSB- match/low-reach

<p>UCLA - reach/ low reach
UCB - reach fo sho
UCSD - match/ high match
UCI - match
UCSB - match
UCD - match
Cal Poly SLO - no idea
SDSU- no idea :(</p>

<p>i’m not too sure how much schools in CA take into consideration being hispanic, but i think that they weight it quite a bit, which is why i rated you the way i did. your chances might be somewhat to considerably less at most of these schools if they don’t take in being latino into the equation at all</p>

<p>chance me back please :D</p>

<p>Although UCLA’s admission rate is low, I think people on this site tend to exaggerate UCLA’s entrance difficulty. I think it may be a match/high match for you. I am also interested in UCLA, and the following site: <a href=“https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1093[/url]”>https://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg01_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=1093&lt;/a&gt;
shows there average ACT to be 27. Your scores really aren’t that bad considering you’re right on par for UCLA and probably the others, too.</p>

<p>Hey, this is what I think :
UCLA - low reach
UCB - reach
UCSD - low low reach.
UCI - match
UCSB - match
UCD - match
Cal Poly SLO - safe
SDSU - safe</p>

<p>The reason I think this is because your ECs, Grades, Tests, and stuff are even and pretty above average.</p>

<p>I had a couple of friends that had around your stats getting into every UC.</p>

18

<p>UCLA-reach
UCD-reach
UCSD-reach (But hopefully they T&F helps with that Id say it could be a low reach)
UCI-high match
UCD-high match
UCSB-match
Cal Poly-match
SDSU-safety</p>

<p>good luck! Chance Back?</p>

<p>anymore opinions? :(</p>

<p>i think if you wrote some really good essays and have great teacher/counselor recs, you have a good shot at most of the schools. good luck!</p>
