UC Berkeley and UCLA and Stanford

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a Canadian with a parent who's a resident of california.
I have a 3.71 UW UC GPA (grades 10-11) and a 3.79 W UC GPA (86 isn't an A apparently).
SAT Reasoning: 750 Math, 750 CR, 720 Writing (damn essay)
SAT Subject: 780 Math II, 780 Biology - Molecular
AP Biology : 5
Senior Year courses and first term grades:
1. english ap 90
2. calc ap 92
3. stats ap 88
4. econ ap 90
5. world history ap 91
6. physics 12 (regular) 100
7. math 12 honours 100
8. senior concert band 90</p>

<p>Provincial Karate champ
Dry grad committee treasurer
First horn in senior concert band
rugby team flanker</p>

<p>I'm applying to civil engineering.
I'd appreciate any comments.
Thanks</p>

<p>my friend has this situation, I am going to bump this</p>

3

<p>I think you’ll get in
i just know it
i can sense it
you’re welcome</p>

4

<p>imo ucb and stanford are reaches
you


 should

get into ucla</p>

5

<p>male or female?URM or non-URM?</p>

<p>I think they are all reachy reach schools for you based on D’s high school statistics in the last few years.</p>

6

<p>male
what’s URM??
and thanks for the responses</p>

7

<p>Under Represented Minority? Are you Caucasian or Asian? If yes then you are not URM.
Female gives you a small boost if your major is engineering, for male, you get zero boost.
Add more schools if it’s not too late. Those schools are all reachy reach for you.</p>

8

<p>I’m Iranian. I believe that falls under caucasian.
So non-URM</p>

9

<p>You are non-URM but it only makes a difference for Stanford. UCs do not consider race in the admission process per Prop 209.</p>

10

<p>why would anyone take physics 12 regular</p>

11

<p>I’ve also applied to UC Irvine, and UC Davis, but I think I’m a sure in for those two.
I didn’t apply to UCSD because it only offers structural engineering, and not civil.
I don’t want to go east, so I’m stuck with these schools.</p>

<p>h2opoloboy - I tried transferring in from 11 reg to AP, I even got teacher permission, but the class was packed.</p>

12

<p>What about the 2 Cal Polies, I think they are better than UCI/UCDavis for engineering. I hope it’s not too late.</p>

13

<p>It’s too late for those two…</p>

14

<p>UCSB is also good for engineering. Not sure if it’s good for civil engineering or not. The place is right on the beach.</p>

15

<p>It doesn’t offer civil unfortunately.</p>

16

<p>Make sure you focus on your essays and how you fill out your UC application. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Based on your UC GPA, both UCB + UCLA are slight reaches/reaches.</p>

<p>I have a slightly higher UC GPA, but a lower SAT score, and I’m not really expecting to be accepted into either UCB or UCLA. But there’s always a chance. And your SAT II scores are obviously great, so I would say you have a solid shot.</p>

<p>The average UC GPAs for UCLA and Berkeley last year were 4.13 and 4.15 or something like that (too lazy to validate). But luckily, your SAT score is higher than their SAT averages, so hopefully they take that into consideration. </p>

<p>Standford’s a bigger reach, obviously. Don’t count on an acceptance.</p>
