UC Chances Please

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Alright, well my stats have changed a bit...
so I thought i'd give this another go :)</p>

<p>Male, Asian
UC GPA - 3.71</p>

<p>SAT1-
Math - 700
Crit. Reading - 690
Writing - 570
Essay - 10 </p>

<p>Total - 1960</p>

<p>I got the same exact writing score twice (but improved 100 points in math and crit reading) so I don't think taking the SAT for a 3rd time will improve my writing score. (my spelling/grammar is bad...:))</p>

<p>SAT II
MathIIC - 650
US History - 690</p>

<p>I'll retake MathIIC</p>

<p>ECs:
Academic Decathlon Competition Team 2 years
Member of Operation Smile
Volunteered at Doctor (Pediatrician) and Dental offices over the summer
USA Junior Field Hockey Team (U19 Goalie)
JV Tennis Team
2 Years Escape Magazine Secretary/Treasurer
3 years Key Club
Dental Assistant
Internal Medicine Doctor Assistant
Played the Violin for 5 years</p>

<p>Could you guys please chance me at the UCs as well as UVA (err U of Va, just out of curiosity)
Any other recommendations would be great.</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Oh and I'am a Cali Resident interested in Statistics and Biology.</p>

<p>for sure into all ucs except ucla and ucb, for ucla and ucb i think you have a fifty fifty chance</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: Slight reach
UCSD: High match
All others except UCM, UCR: match
UCM, UCR: safe match

<p>Thanks hereicome09 and pdef.
Anymore input would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>pdef got it right.</p>

6

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Match
UCSC/UCR/UCM: Safe Match-Safety</p>

<p>ucchris' chances are right on the money in my view.</p>

<p>You should consider retaking the SAT I to bring up the overall score (by working primarily on the Writing section, obviously). It could make all the difference in whether you get into UCSD or not.</p>

<p>Oh, and UVA (OOS) is a slight reach to reach.</p>

8

<p>Weak GPA, slightly weak SAT score, and average ECs</p>

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: big reach
UCSD: reach - slight reach
UCD/UCI/UCSB: match
UCM/UCR/UCSC: safe match</p>

<p>The reason I say this is your GPA. The average UC GPA for Berkeley/UCLA is about a 4.2, UCSD's about 4.1. Mid-tier UCs (UCD/UCI/UCSB) have an average of about 3.9 UC GPA, which is a bit above yours, but since your SAT score is at the 75th percentile and since your ECs are above average for them, it's a match. Your UC GPA is a little bit above UCSC/UCR/UCM's.</p>

<p>You're GPA is on the low side. I would have to say Reach for Berk and LA</p>

10

<p>Thanks you guys.</p>

<p>I was also wondering if someone would chance me at NYU (CAS) as well as UVA
My normal wtd 10-12 GPA is 4.0</p>

11

<p>Bumpity Bump :D</p>

<p>I totally agree with kyledavid80. Don't know much about NYU but it seems from what i've read you probably are a reach for NYU but not as big of a reach as UCB / UCLA</p>
