<p>Hey guys.</p>

SAT I: 740 (M) / 750 (V)
SAT II: 780 Writing / 800 Math IIC / 710 Spanish
APs: 9 (average score of 4 on the 4 I've already taken)

Personal statements: good enough.</p>
<p>Art history or economics/math major. </p>
<p>Applied to: Berkeley, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Irvine, and Santa Cruz.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>UC B - reach
UC LA - possible match / reach
UC SB - possible match
UC I - match
UC SC - match</p>
<p>Can you explain the difference between match, possible match, and reach, please?</p>
<p>SB, I, SC = In
LA = 90% chance
B = 85%</p>
<p>Nice scores!</p>
<p>Why not UCSD?</p>
<p>calProspective: "[chances] Nice scores!"</p>
<p>Thanks.. That'd be really cool to get into LA/Cal.</p>
<p>HurricaneH: "Why not UCSD?"</p>
<p>Everyone whom I know there hates it. It doesn't sound appealing in the least.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, what about Davis? Thanks</p>
<p>Your a lock for Davis. But out of ucb, ucla, and ucsd I bet your going to be choosing from at least two of those three.</p>
<p>Cool, you think so?</p>
<p>I didn't apply to UCSD...but I'd be thrilled beyond belief if I were accepted to UCLA.</p>
<p>Near perfect test scores and good EC's? I think you would have as good of a chance as anyone else.</p>
<p>err. why did you even bother with santacruz?
you know if they don't give you any of the other ones, but you meet UC req. they will at least put you in one of the UCs - usually riverside or santacruz (even if you didn't apply)</p>
<p>Shrug... </p>
<p>If, out of all the schools to which I applied, I were only accepted at Davis, Irvine, and Santa Cruz, I'd like to be able to have my options, I guess. Besides, Santa Cruz has a neato linguistics program.</p>
<p>I'd think you'll be in for all of them. Very good numbers, except for yor UC GPA which is a little low; avg for UCB is like a 4.15 or so. Absolutely awesome test scores, though.</p>
<p>So_Delirious:</p>
<p>UCB: Match
UCLA: Match
UCSB: Safety
UCI: Safety
UCSC: Safety</p>
<p>So does "match" mean 50/50?</p>
<p>na....I think match means more likely than not. 50/50 is a reach.</p>
<p>Cool ... if 50/50 is a reach .. what would you call something with 5% chances? :)</p>
<p>Good application practice...na, not really...i dunno...a dream..but if you really wanna attend there go for it...i've had a few dreams come true(not in this process but in life i mean).</p>
<p>Ha ... well, I applied ED to Brown... strictly statistically speaking, based off only my class rank, I have a 4% chance of being admitted. It's a dream you say? Time to bust out some Langston Hughes -- dream deferred -- haha pun intended...</p>
