<p>SAT: 1920 (CR:620 WR:610 MATH: 690)
ACT:32 (Composite:32 English:33 MATH: 33 Reading: 32 Science:30 Combined English/Writing: 29)<br>

<p>My current GPA is 3.83 and when I applied, my GPA was 3.75.
Santa Barbara allows me to accept the waitlisted spot and appeal.
Davis has two options: take the waitlist spot and write a 200 word essay or forfeit the waitlist spot and appeal.</p>

<p>When appealing, I need my Senior year 1st semester grades, which are:
ASB - A
AP Literature - A
AP Physics - B
AP Calculus AB - A
AP Econ - A
Total GPA: 4.6</p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>I got into UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis with a 2100 SAT but I had a lower GPA, around 3.5. I don’t think UCs really care about your senior grades. When you’re wait listed, you need to write what specifically about that school makes you want to attend. I had a friend in UCSB write a great letter about why he wants UCSB so badly. He also called the admissions office until they may have been annoyed…and he had lower stats than you (GPA /SAT). I think that for Davis and Santa Barbara you have a good chance just find out things about each school (exp. SB noble price professors in certain departments, would love to be taught and work with them…). Hope this helps!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>RIGHT ON! Write your appeal based on who you want to take classes with and why at these places. That said, UCSC is a GREAT guaranteed back up especially in Soc.</p>
