<p>cerealbox1: very good chance at Berkeley, how much you study is really up to you, it depends on how good you want your grades to be and what kind of classes you take.</p>
<p>godbreath: 30% chance at Berkeley and UCLA, 50% at UCSD.</p>
<p>sushifureak: 50% chance at Berkeley and UCLA, no it's not safe to call UCSD a safety, you'll probably get into UCI, and UCs don't look at rank, they mostly care about your UCGPA and UW GPA, and a little about "the rigor of your school" which is loosely related to your rank.</p>

<p>HELP...I need some advice!</p>
<p>I graduated from high school in 1989. I went to college for five years after graduation and never applied myself and, consequently, made terrible grades (GPA of 2.44). After a break of nearly ten years, I returned to school in 2005 and will finally graduate with my bachelors degree in May 2009 at the ripe old age of 37. Because of my poor performance in my early 20s, when I graduate next spring, I will have a cumulative GPA of around 2.95 (My GPA since I returned to school is about a 3.60). </p>
<p>Here is my concern....I am planning on applying to some of the country's top business schools for graduate school, but I am not sure that they will even notice me once they see a GPA of 2.95. Can anyone give me some advice on how good my chances are of being accepted? </p>
<p>I have been working professionally in the real estate industry as an appraiser and as an analyst for the last four years.</p>
<p>Are the admissions criteria different for out of state?</p>
<p>I'm considering reapplying to different colleges because I'm reconsidering the school I thought I would go to this fall. I was waitlisted by a few this year (Stanford, Dartmouth, Williams, Chicago) because of a low class rank 78/375, but it seems like UC schools don't take that into account (correct me if I'm wrong). Also, my school has rampant grade inflation, so my UC GPA is a 4.8-4.9, whereas my regular GPA is relatively low. What I'm wondering is whether I have a shot being from out of state.</p>
<p>White male
SAT: 2400 one sitting
UC GPA: 4.85</p>
<p>Going for Econ or Poli Sci, maybe math minor also</p>
<p>I don't really want to get into my EC's but they're pretty solid, and I won a few awards. Based on my numbers, do I have a solid chance or will it come down to essays and subjective stuff? Thanks for replying.</p>
