<p>I'm retaking the SATI in december for the last time.</p>
<p>what are my chances at UCB/UCLA/UCSD/UCI/UCD/UCSB?</p>
<p>UCGPA: 3.91
SATI: (before december obviously): 1940
SATII: Lit-710, USHist- 630</p>
<p>also, is there a chance i won't get into either UCI/UCD/UCSB? should i apply to a lower tier UC or am i safe with those?</p>
<p>thanks a lot.</p>
<p>well if you can get responses from FLOPSY or CALCRUZER, they can give you accurate judgements on ur ucs but since ucla and ucb have averages of 4.1 and above AND about a 2010ish ur reaches for those 2, slight reach at SD, and matches for everything else.</p>
<p>oh yeah, i plan on majoring in econ/bizecon if that affects anything.</p>
<p>I agree with flong's assessment above on your odds at the various UCs.</p>
<p>You really should be pretty safe at getting into one of the three UCs you mentioned (UCI, UCSB, UCD) since your GPA is at their averages and your SATs are above their averages, as are your SAT IIs. </p>
<p>Also, normally the UCs attempt to match you up with the UC closest to home if you are in the general range. So they will probably accept you at either UCI or UCSB for this reason. (That is, you are more likely to be accepted at one of these two than at UC Davis, unless you make some statement in your application that you prefer UC Davis).</p>
<p>The Brian:</p>
<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Match</p>
<p>Does the major you choose affect your chances at UCs?</p>
<p>no, unless its impacted or engineering, etc things like that</p>
<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCD/UCI/UCSB: Match</p>
<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach
(average 4.17 GPA for Berkeley and 4.12 GPA for UCLA and both have an SAT average around 2040)</p>
<p>UCSD: Slight Reach
(average 4.04 GPA and 1940 SAT for admits)</p>
<p>You should have no problem getting into any UC's lower than the top 3. I would call mid tier uc's as matches-safe matches and lower tier uc's as safeties.</p>
<p>thanks a lot for the responses.</p>
<p>what does a slight reach mean, anyway?</p>
<p>below or above 50% would you say?</p>
<p>40-45 percent</p>
