1340 but I’m going to take it again to get a batter score.
I know my grades aren’t the best but I’m in a lot of clubs.
I’m in Leo, aca, kidshare, gaming club, volunteering at the library and I’m currently looking for a mentor at the lab. I know I’ll get into UCR but I want to at least get in UCI.
Your chances for UCLA are low. It’s the hardest one to get into for California. You should get into UCI without a huge problem, I would be surprised if you didn’t get in there either. UCSD is a bit of a reach, but maybe.
TYSM. I feel much better but I’m really scared of not getting in.
not an attack, just wondering how you can get a 4.0 with a C ? I think if you focus on getting mostly A’s, some B’s, you should be on the right track for all of the UCs but UCB and UCLA. The UC’s care about scores and grades a lot. You should calculate your UC GPA and take a look at that.
So… please don’t shout (all caps). And don’t let yourself get caught in the trap of feeling you must attend a specific school or set of schools. Students who go to UCI and CSUs do very well in life if they work hard and do well in college. Don’t define your self worth by what college you get into.
Calculate your UC GPA capped weighted at the end of Junior year and it will give a better picture of your chances along with comparing your stats with the UC Freshman profiles. UC GPA only uses 10-11th grades.

For the UC’s, intended major will have an impact on your chances also along with HS course rigor, EC’s snd essays. Good advice in the above post about not focusing on any particular school.
Do your best and good luck.
The big, mean real world cares much less about where you go to school than you do. It is all about the sin of pride that makes attending this school or that one a life’ deal breaker. Focus intently on just how good your school of choice will prep you for your career–you want to graduate knowing your stuff. Also make sure the chosen school fits your personality, preferences and lifestyle. UC Berkeley, for example, is not only an exciting place but also one that can be cold, lonely, and weird, as well, you may love it, you may hate it. Visit and investigate any college before you sign. When you have your first job interview following graduation it will be the content of your character not the colors of your school that determines if you win or not.
@STEMteacher I dont completely agree with you because one’s opportunities can be influenced by the name of the school on the paper. Nonetheless-going to a school that has the program you want shows more maturity and self awareness that going to a school simply because it s more revered on the prestige meter. That decision bodes well for future success. Lots of lucky sperm clubbers attend Ivy League or NESCAC schools and never do more than marry well. LOL
@Center. Um… what, pray tell, is a “sperm clubber”? (I’m wondering if this has something to do with being a legacy – you DO know that there are legacies whose mother attended the school and not their father, don’t you?)
I’m taking 2 APs and an honor class and it boosted my GPA. So that’s how I have a 4.0
