So like if I don't get into this school, I'm going to a CC

<p>Yeah my stats are pretty bad, probably only good enough for the lower tier UC's. I still have senior year left do something, but anyway my parents told me if I don't get into something better than UCR then I'm going to a CC since it's not worth it to even go there then. I kinda agree anyway, might as well transfer out to somewhere better instead. So I guess UCI is the next school higher than UCR and it's the closest to me.....</p>

<p>So like what do I need to get in? I'm in state, asian indian, male, high income. weighted GPA is probably around a 3.6 or something? sat's scores are atrocious, something like 1750? if someone tells me a score that I would need to get into UCI and it sounds feasible, I'll probably retake even though I didn't study for it at all this summer.</p>

<p>uci - high reach
ucr - match</p>

<p>Ok, two things before you write off UCI. First, is that weighted GPA a weighted UC GPA? A lot can change if you take off the grades from freshman year and weigh it according to the school. Second, you can totally retake your SATs. Irvine's average is 18xx, which is something you're very close to. If you manage a 2000 you could potentially offset your low GPA. Don't give up hope yet, especially when you still have chances to take standardized tests (including the somewhat easier ACT).</p>

<p>lol looking for a sign of hope? You should see my stats when I got in haha I seriously think it was my personal statements and e.c.s that helped boost me the extra way and into UCI</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.9
SATs: 1670 </p>

<p>LOL</p>

<p>What the hell do you mean UCI is the next school higher than UCR?</p>

<p>What about UCSC, UCSB, UCD?</p>

<p>ucd and uci are neck and neck under ucsd.</p>

<p>just cram SAT and youll get 1900 if you study an hour a day in the summer and 4 hrs a day on the few weekends before the test.</p>

<p>lets see...</p>

<p>gpa: 3.29 WEIGHTED, i must add that i took AP chem but barely passed, and didnt take the AP test</p>

<p>SAT: 1920
Sat2 US HIST: 520
Sat Math 2c: 620</p>

<p>****ty stats...it can happen</p>

<p>I meant the next school in line because I live in socal so it's the next closest school to me. wasn't trying to put it down or anything.</p>

<p>thanks for the replies, looks like I need to bring my SAT score up a bit then.</p>

<p>hey, don't give up hope, I had a 3.33 weighted GPA and my highest SAT score was a 1900 and still somehow crawled into UCI. haha.</p>
