<p>i have several questions regarding admissions (probably doesn't apply as much to B/LA, since they're more holistic)</p>
<p>1) If your scores/GPA are pretty above the averages for the school, will the school reject u if you're overqualified by a lot? or b/c they're publics, they'll accept u, even though they feel like it's not likely you'll attend</p>
<p>2) Do the schools care enough if a student is more science-geared (like APs in math/science, but the regular classes for english/social studies)? or do they not have enough time to really see if an applicant is well-rounded or not?</p>
<p>3) Adding to above, if someone was always on the regular path in english/SS, but then decided to take like AP english or AP econ/psych in senior yr, would that have a big effect on well-roundedness/admissions?</p>

<p>Many Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, I have a question as well. </p>
<p>How much do the amount of A-G courses count on the admissions for UCI, and does it will a low amount (18) negate a decent GPA of 3.9?</p>
<p>18 A-G courses even managed to satisfy all the UC requirements? Is that classes or semesters?</p>
<p>hi i know it's only about a week or two before decisions are released, but i was wondering what my chances are for UCLA, UCSB, and UCSD.</p>
