Major: Biological Sciences
Few extra curriculars, sub-par essay (imo)</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into each UC?</p>
<p>Match for most of the UCs expect UCSD UCLA and CAL. Those might be reaches</p>
<p>UCSD: Match/High match
UCLA: Reach
Berkeley: Reach
UCD: Match
UCI: Match
UCSB: Match
UCSC: Low match/Match
UCR: Low match
UCM: Safety</p>
<p>i think you have a very good chance at all of the UC schools, but UCLA and UC Berkeley may be low reaches. I heard they look at gpa more heavily.</p>

<p>In fact, UCs in general are more GPA-heavy than SAT-heavy. IIRC SUNYs are the most SAT-heavy public schools…</p>
<p>Yeah your gpa might be a bit low since the UC’s really care about gpa. Biological sciences is a very popular major, and lots of people with perfect stats will apply for those as well from everywhere, so the applicant pool will be very competitive with relatively few spots. Therefore, UCLA and Berkeley are reaches, with UCSD being a mid reach (they’re very picky these days). However, if you like bio a lot, UC Davis is the perfect fit since they’re bio research is excellent, and I think you have very good chance for admission there. Best of luck</p>
<p>Their* bio research</p>
<p>UCSD: low reach
UCLA: reach
Cal: reach
UCSB: high match (high meaning closer to reach)
UCI: high match
UCD: high match
UCR: in
UCSC: in
Ucm: in</p>
<p>All are safeties
Ucsd:match
Ucla:high match/low reach
Ucb:low reach</p>
