Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, my son is a senior in high school and is applying for colleges (mainly UCs). I am curious as to what others thought his chances of getting in are.</p>

<p>UC gpa so far: 4.08 Non-Uc: 4.23</p>

<p>He took the SAT I in March and got a 1930, will re take it next month and will aim for over 2000 at least.</p>

<p>SAT IIs: MathIIc: 670 US History: 640 Chemistry: 630 (yes, they are low)</p>

<p>He has (im not sure of the exact number), at least 150 hours of community service, maybe 200+
He would be the first generation to go to college</p>

<p>Chess Team (3 yrs)
Treasurer of Chess Club (3 yrs)
Key Club (3 yrs)
CSF (3 yrs)
Debate Club
Table Tennis Club
Part of tutoring program for a few years
Honor Roll
Internship last summer for a software company
Possibly some others that I cannot think of at the moment</p>

<p>He would most like to go to UCB, UCLA, UCSD, UCI, and UCD.</p>

<p>Thanks for any input!</p>

<p>UC gpa so far: 4.08 Non-Uc: 4.23</p>

<p>how does that work??
but UCB/UCLA: slight reach
UCSD match.</p>

<p>As it stands, he has 8 AP classes and two weighted honors classes (which would result in a 4.23 for 10-12), but since the UC's only take 8, his modified UC gpa is going to be lower. That's the way I understood it, and that's how it appears on his transcript</p>

<p>Wow I have almost identical stats as you.</p>

<p>I think we're fine for UCSD, and it'll depend on our essays for UCB and UCLA</p>
