<p>Can you give us breakdown of SAT score?
U of Oregon: super safety. Try honors college.
UCLA/UC Berkeley: reach(low GPA)
other UC schools: low reach-high match
Vassar College: reach(low gpa)</p>

3

<p>UC GPA 4.21</p>

4

<p>If your UC GPA is 4.21 then it might be high match or low reach for UCLA/UC berkeley and match for other UC schools, but Vassar is still reach. Again, what’s your SAT breakdown?</p>

5

<p>UCLA/UCB: High Match
SLO/UCSD: Match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Low Match
Chico State/U of Oregon: Safety
Vassar/BC/W&M: ??? IDK</p>

<p>Cr:690 Math:710 Writing:700</p>

<p>@Gumbymom‌ Vassar college is one of top 15 liberal arts college and very selective so unless the OP has at leas 700+ in every section and has higher GPA it will be difficult…since UC GPA doesn’t matter to Vassar College.</p>

8

<p>Midpoints for Vassar (taking middle point of 25%-75% range) in SATs are:</p>

<p>700 CR
690 M
705 W</p>

<p>And the OP has a 3.8 uw GPA (not the UC GPA). I would say Vassar is match for the OP. Question is whether it is affordable, though.</p>

<p>@intparent‌ where did you get the numbers?(not saying you are wrong, just curious).</p>

<p>!</p>

<p>Actually, those numbers are a year old. Here is a link to the 2013-2014 Common Data Set (best source). Midpoints based on that are:</p>

<p>705 CR
690 M
705 W</p>

<p>So 5 points higher (average) on the CR numbers that i said above.</p>

<p><a href=“Institutional Research – Vassar College”>Institutional Research – Vassar College; </p>

<p>Now… I am guessing the OP is female, which means higher scores may be needed, since more women than men apply to Vassar. So it may be a high match. Certainly scores over 700 would help. Her GPA is good enough.</p>

<p>@intparent‌ thank you for the updated information :-)</p>

<p>UCD would definitely be in your reach. I had way lower SAT and ACT scores and I got in</p>
