<p>The needed GPA to assess chances is your UC GPA. Assuming it’s close to the 3.9, UCI, UCSB, UCSC and UCD are matches. UCR would be a safety.</p>

<p>UC’s don’t superscore your SAT. Do calculate your UC GPA, go to the UC Doorways website, find your school, and check to see which AP/Honors classes that you’ve taken are actually considered for honors/ap credit for UC’s. Calculate your new score by giving a point higher to only those classes. Your UC GPA is usually lower than your weighted GPA.</p>

<p>So, assuming that your GPA is at around 3.51 and your SAT is at around 1800 (lowering it because you superscored your SAT) and you’re a CA resident this is what I would say: </p>

<p>Definitely apply to UCSC, UCSB, UCI, and UCD.
If you can write a killer essay, apply to some of the other (UCSD, UCLA). I’ve seen people get in with stats like yours, however, I’ve seen many more get in with better. UC’s are a crapshoot. If you’re a resident and meet minimum UC requirements, you’ve got a chance.</p>

<p>follow ZooeyKing’s advice… UC’s (all except UCLA?) cap the GPA so you can have only 8 extra bonus points…</p>
