I have a 3.2 UW gpa and 3.6 Weighted gpa and received a 31 on my act. Although my gpa doesn’t reflect my act scores, I have many community service hours and hobbies. Please let me know if I can get into any of the following colleges:
Lehigh
Uwisconsin
Uwashinton
Uflorida
Michigan
UVM
Tulane
NYU
Berkeley
CU Boulder
UCSB
P.S.- I’m white, from N.J., and can afford all of the colleges listed
UCSB: Low Reach
UCB: Reach
GPA too low for these UC’s. Your ACT is in range for UCSB but low for UCB.
Calculate your UC GPA and since you are OOS, you only get the extra Honors points for AP/IB or DE Courses taken in 10-11th grade. UC’s do not recognized OOS Hs Honor’s courses as weighted.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.40-3.79:
UCB: 2%
UCLA: 3%
UCSD: 6%
UCD: 11%
UCSB: 13%
UCI: 16%
UCSC: 47%
UCR: 64%
UCM: 80%
Could you explain what your community service hours & hobbies are? Do you have any hooks?
I’m not familiar with any of these schools, except NYU & Berkeley, which I think would be reaches. I would say that solid matches would be schools with around ~28 ACT scores, just to account for GPA. Are you in your senior year or do you have time to bring it up?
If you could check out my thread, that’d be great!
UC unweighted gpa is 3.6
By the way I had a rough freshman year, and have increased my grades exponentially
