<p>^ that website doesnt work well. It predicts based on your score range.
I played around with it, it turned out that I had a 100% chance of getting into Harvard with an 1700 SAT score and a 0% chance with a 2100---> just because 2100 is in the rejected Harvard applicant range and 1700 is not</p>

<p>I am a transfer student from california community college.
Cali resident.
My GPA is 4.0, and I am in Sociology major.
Not many Xtra activities, but I've been working since I entered to the college.</p>

<p>I have one "C" from a non transferrable course. (So it did not actually affect my overall GPA, but it is shown on my official transcript.)
And I don't think my personal statements are good.</p>

<p>What do you think??</p>

190

<p>^I recommend <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/&lt;/a> so that they know more about what they're talking about.</p>

<p>^^
UCB/UCLA: Slight reach/reach
UCSD: High match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Match
UCSC/UCM/UCR: Safe Match</p>

191

<p>hey peppers, can you chance me as well ?</p>

192

<p>Thats what the ^^ is for.</p>

193

<p>peppers: For someone who gets a 4.0 in CCC, I woulda thought his chances would have been better. For example, the way people talk about transfering from a CCC, it makes me think he would be a match at UCB and UCLA. And his safe matches would be safeties. I just wondered if maybe you considered something I wasn't thinking about, such as the fact that there are many more applicants this year.</p>

194

<p>Peppers didn't chance the Transfer student (lisa-), the ^^ denotes he was replying to jhuscla.</p>

195

<p>Can someone chance me? Post 183</p>

196

<p>^I'm assuming that your converted UC GPA is ~3.7 (ie. the average of sophomore and junior years only)</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach/Reach
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Match
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Low Match</p>

197

<p>Whats my UC GPA? o.o Is it like the average of 4 semesters? Or is it the average of 10th grade plus the average of 11th grade divided by 2? o.o</p>

<p>10th:</p>

<p>Algebra 2/Trig: B, B
English II: A, A
World History: A, A
Spanish II: B, B
Honors Chemistry: C+, B</p>

<p>11th:</p>

<p>AP Chemistry: B, B
English III: A, A
US History: A, A
Spanish III: B, B
Honors PreCalculus: B, B</p>

<p>Also, what are my chances for UC Santa Cruz? =) SAT 1: 1660</p>

198

<p>Drop + and -, add up the 10 and 11 grade scores A=4, B=3 etc, add 1 point for each AP semester (but no more than 8 total added points), then divide by number of semesters.</p>

<p>You have 69/20 or 3.45 UC GPA. </p>

<p>Details of the addition</p>

<p>8 A semesters = 32 points
11 B semesters = 33 points
1 C semester = 2 points
total 20 semesters of classes
2 AP semesters = 2 points</p>

199

<p>Don't my honor classes get an extra point too?</p>

200

<p>Only if they're approved honors points on your school's UC Doorways page.</p>
