<p>i think I'm going to apply with a bio major...</p>
<p>Should i apply to all the UCs with these stats?</p>
<p>Why not apply to all you'd consider attending? The nice thing about UCs is that you don't have do anything extra (except app fees) to apply to all. Don't waste your money applying where you wouldn't want to go, but other than that, apply, then relax and see where you get in.</p>
<p>what does a "match" mean? Does it mean that i have more than a 50 % percent chance of getting in? And what about "slight reach"? what SAT scores should I aim for to make a "slight reach" a "match"?</p>
<p>I think you have a good chance of getting into the 2nd tier school universities (davis, Irvine, or Santa Babara). Your Ec's are so-so i guess...UcSd has this wierd grading system go to the UCSD forum to check it out. And UCSd, UCLA and UCB are sort of becoming dream schools so don't be crushed if you don't get into those top UC's</p>
<p>comments/ suggestions? Gah..I need opinions! lol O yea...any Ivy leagues i should consider? I've always pictured myself going to a UC so not sure about that..but anyways what are my chances of getting into UCLA and UCSd??</p>
<p>these are just guesses on how hard it would be for you to get in. match means that we think you shouldn't have a hard time getting in and reach means that you'd have to do something a little extra to get in. people can't give percentages. one thing i hate about some of the CCers are that you rely so much on what others say. we can't guarantee you admission!!!!</p>
<p>1st semester senior grades do not affect whether you get admitted or rejected by a UC when applying in Nov....</p>
<p>But when you are accepted.... UCs make you sign a contract that forces you to meet a certain criteria. If you happen to screw up your senior year with bad grades, UCs have the right to revoke your admission in March.</p>
