<li>Berkeley</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li><p>UC San Diego</p>

<hr></li>
<li><p>UC Irvine</p></li>
<li><p>UC Santa Barbara</p></li>
<li><p>UC Riverside (Accepted w/ Chancellor’s Scholarship)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>GPA: 3.67 (UW) / 3.82 (UC) / 4.10 (High School) - My UC GPA looks low because the system only gives extra credit for a total of eight honors and AP semesters taken during sophomore and junior years, while I had taken a grand total of 14 semesters.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 30 / 601</p>

<p>SAT I: 710 (M) / 730 (V)</p>

<p>SAT II: 740 Writing / 700 Math IC / 740 US History</p>

<p>AP’s: I took European History sophomore year (got a 4 on the test) and took English Language (5), US History (4), Chemistry (4), and Calculus AB (4) during my junior year. This year, I am taking AP Statistics, Biology, Psychology, and English Literature.</p>

<p>Honors Courses: Freshman year, I took Honors Biology and Literature. Sophomore year, I took Honors Chemistry, Pre-Calculus, and World Literature. This year, I am taking Honors American Government, because AP Government was not offered.</p>

<p>EC’s: I have been a devoted member of Academic Decathlon, the Computer Club, Chess Club, and the California Scholarship Federation since freshman year. I have been Treasurer, and am now President, for Academic Decathlon and Vice President of Computer Club.</p>

<p>Volunteering: I spent some time this summer at a local convalescent center and created strong relationships with many patients and employees there.</p>

<p>I am also considered low income by UCSD’s standards. My parents combined income was just below 41,000 dollars last year.</p>

-----------------</li>
</ol>

<p>HS gpa: 4.19
UC gpa: 3.75</p>

<p>Class rank (doesn't matter for UC's though): top 20% (class of 120 something)</p>

<p>SAT I: 660v 630m
SAT II: 740 Writing, 620 Math IC, 650 US History (640 Literature)</p>

<p>ACT: 28</p>

<p>AP's: Euro (2-long story), Bio (2), US History (4), Eng lang (4), this year AP US Gov and AP Lit (won't count though for UC credit)</p>

<p>pretty boring in all other aspects (which i think), i guess. haha, whatever my confidence isn't too high for UC since i'm at the borderline, i'm hoping though...desperately hoping</p>

<p>i think my essay is pretty good though :/</p>

<p>anyways, let's keep our fingers crossed.. THE WAIT IS KILLING ME</p>

3

<p>all UC applicants, post your stats and schools and let us wait together</p>

4

<p>Haha... I was hoping someone could tell me what they think my chances are.</p>

5

<p>sinful-saint: how did u get accepted w/riverside w/chancellor's scholarship?? haa i guess i'm not good enough for a scholarship there (don't want to go there though but a scholarship would boost my morale, lol)</p>

6

<p>sinful-saint: oops sorry for taking away your limelight :( haha</p>

<p>ok here is my take on your chances, although i am by no means an expert:</p>

<ol>
<li>Berkeley: unpredictable. you are a typical applicant...so... 50% chance</li>
<li>UCLA: unpredictable as well. UCLA actually had a lower admit rate than Berkeley these past couple years. 50% chance</li>
<li><p>UC San Diego: i think you are in. 75% chance</p>

<hr></li>
<li><p>UC Irvine: 90% chance</p></li>
<li><p>UC Santa Barbara: 99% chance</p></li>
</ol>

7

<p>I think you had to have had an SAT I score of at least 1350.</p>

8

<p>Thanks dream. I really hope you're right. I'd be happy with SD, LA, or Berkeley - doesn't matter which one.</p>

9

<p>ya me too.. i hope i get into at least one, although odds are against me. i made a new thread in "College Admissions" section for us UC applicants</p>

<li>UC Santa Barbra</li>
<li>UC Irvine</li>
<li>UC Davis</li>
<li>UC Santa Cruz</li>
<li>UC Merced</li>
</ol>

<p>3.5 UW, 3.7W
1210 SAT I
560, 630, 660 SAT II</p>

<p>decent EC's and advanced classes</p>

<p>I've been wanting to go to UCSD forever but it doesn't look like thats possible. Hmm... Maybe me being a social science major will help a tad.</p>

11

<p>NorCal resident :cool:</p>

<p>Choices:
1. UCLA
2. Berkeley
3. San Diego (Muir #1)*
4. Davis</p>

<p>UC GPA: 4.0ish (a miniscule bit under)
-no rank
SAT: 710 M, 700 V
SAT IIs: 800 French, 760 Writing, 700 Math IC</p>

<p>Good ECs, focus around French language (founder/president of French club), volunteering (2 leadership), and a steady job</p>

<p>I applied as a French major everywhere.</p>

<p>*I think for UCSD, everyone should put their first choice college.</p>
