I think I’m gonna apply as undeclared if I can. Honestly, I don’t know what I want to do in future…no interest in engineering…or math or science.

http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/freshman-admissions-summary indicates that fall 2015 frosh applicants to UCs with UC-weighted GPA 3.80-4.19 had these admission rates:

12% UCB
14% UCLA
39% UCSD
49% UCSB
52% UCD

If you are applying for a major that is more selective (e.g. engineering or CS; biology or math at UCSD), then the chances are likely lower than what the above may suggest.

You may want to add additional less selective UCs to your list. Also, have you talked to your parents about what they will contribute for your college costs?

Thanks for reply, but I think I’m going to apply not-competitive majors and I’m thinking over UCI or UCSC as well. My parent surely would pay the cost. I asked them already!!

Bump!
