Chapman is a solid Match for you. UCI Business Admin is a tough admit and you are competitive so probably a High Match to Match.

UCSD could go either way. Consider UCLA a Reach school but you are a qualified applicant.

Best of luck.

Thanks Gumbymom! Greatly appreciate your feedback.

By the way, wondering if I can get any merit scholarship based on my academics either at UCI or Chapman?

5

UC’s give little merit but you might have a chance at Regents which is $2500/year and renewable.

These were average Stats for last years Regent Scholars:
Our freshmen Regents’ Scholars class of 2021 is an impressive group.
Average High School GPA: 4.30
Average SAT Score: 2226

For Chapman, there are merit scholarships available for in-coming Freshman. If they are automatic, you can check the Net Price calculator here to see if they show up in your cost estimates:

The Chapman website does not state the required GPA/Test scores for these scholarships:
Academic Scholarships
The Presidential, Chancellors or Provost, and Deans Scholarships are academic awards based on a student’s entering grade point average and test scores. These awards are provided by the Office of Admissions only to new freshmen students who enter Chapman University directly from high school.
