I am making a very desperate attempt to earn some form of reinforcement; I am very anxious in regards to my chances in multiple UC's. I have heard horrific news this year of the dramatic drops in admissions
Here are my stats </p>

SAT: 1900 (going to retake)
Sophomore Year AP's: AP Euro (passed test with 3)
Junior Year AP's: APUSH, AP ENG, AP BIO (test scores to come)
Yet to take SAT 2's</p>
<p>EC'S
Part of City Teen Council
Mock Trial Club--1 year--led new school to decent rank
Varsity Tennis-1 year
Volunteered (Teacher's Aide) in a Special Education School
100+ Hours of Volunteer/Community Service
Leo Club-2 years
Class Rank: 45/260</p>
<p>Looking at

UCLA
UCD
UCSB
UCSD
PLease Help!!!!!</p>
<p>I’m somewhat the same as you. Try to bump up the community service to 200 hrs, that’s the next threshold after 100. 1900 should suffice for all but LA and B. 3.78 weighted is a bit low, but it also depends on what you want to major in though.</p>
<p>3.78 uc gpa is low. most people i know in that range got into merced, riverside, and some lucky few got into irvine. </p>
<p>on the topic of community service, i would say that its not how many hours you put in but what you actually do. did you actually make a significant difference or did you just do something for a bunch of hours because that’s what everyone else was doing?</p>
<p>so would anyone mind to actually “chance” me rather than discuss point systems. And BTW, in all of my EC’s, I was very active and it was not done just for hours. Thank You Very Much !!!</p>
