<p>What are my chances at the engineering schools of the 7 UC's I applied to (UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCR, and UCSC)</p>
<p>UC GPA: 4.32
SAT: 1810
ACT: Taking in Dec</p>
<p>Subject Tests: Bio (Taking in Dec)</p>
<p>Senior Course AP Rigor:
AP English Lit
AP Calc AB
AP Physics C (Mechanics)
AP Comparative Gov</p>
<p>Multiple EC's and leadership in them. 100+ hours of volunteer/CS</p>
<p>Also, Top 3% in large senior class of about 680 I believe.</p>
<p>Please elaborate on your ECs. Your SAT is kind of low, try to do good on your ACT.</p>
<p>So far I can see</p>
<p>UCB reach
UCLA reach
UCSD high match
UCSB high match
UCR match
UCSC match</p>
<p>Bump :)</p>
<p>UCSC/UCR: Match
UCI/UCSB: High Match/Low Reach
UCSD: Low Reach
UCLA/UCB: Reach</p>
<p>Engineering will be difficult with your score. If you get ELC, it might make up for it. </p>
<p>ELC will only guarantee an acceptance (if there is room) to UC Merced, not a UC of your choice.</p>
<p>I qualify for the local path and statewide path thing. I noticed some UC’s use that in their admission process as a factor. </p>
<p>I’m hoping to get my ACT over the equivalent of a 1810.
In order to be higher than that I think the ideal score would be a 28. 30+ would be awesome too.</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>Your GPA is impressive (but you should list your unweighted because that is a little more important) but your SAT is very low for UCB, UCLA and UCSD and I am assuming that you will apply CS which is super competitive at every UC campus and with that said UCR and UCSC are your two matches and UCSB is a reach, the others are, well…</p>
<p>If you get a 30+ on your ACT (especially high in math and science) your chances will increase DRAMATICALLY. UCSD. UCB and UCLA will all be low reaches/high matches and UCSB, UCR and UCSC will almost be guaranteed.</p>
<p>You should also consider taking the Math II SAT Subject Test (and scoring well). </p>
<p>You didn’t specify your ECs but from what you said they sound solid so that’s a plus as well. </p>
<p>Good Luck! </p>
<p>@aigusta my UW GPA is 3.95
I’m actually applying to Mechanical Engineering and I’m Hispanic.</p>
<p>I took the Mathematics subject test and the Bio subject test several days ago.</p>
<p>And as for the ACT, i’ve been taking practice tests scoring around 28-29 (which I know isn’t amazing but it’s significantly better than my SAT score)</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback :)</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. The UCs love students with a high GPA.</p>
<p>California publics banned affirmative action so being Hispanic will not help. I agree with @Mangiafoco, that the UC’s focus heavily on GPA which will help but since you are an Engineering major, you need to be above the averages for test scores also.</p>
