So i am not in the top 9%?

<p>So i have applied to UCSD UCI UCSB and UCSC</p>

<p>i am not in the top 9% of my class i just found out. I got a 1750 on my SATs and i have a weighted 3.55 GPA ! my sophomore year wasnt great ! but my junior grades totally improved! </p>

<p>i listed my awards and honors too so i hoped that works out!</p>

<p>but should i be prepared to not get accepted ? :(</p>

<p>i dont think you have to be top 9% to get accepted to a UC though it does guarantee you a chance at Merced.</p>
