<p>One I look most to is UCLA.</p>
<p>End of Junior Year GPA is</p>
<p>83.6%, 3 A, 4 B, 2AP 1 Hon. (royalled fked in 3rd term.)</p>
<p>EC virtually nothing.
Years of community service through local events first aid. Maybe 200+
And some lackluster club.
Track Team - nothing won
Couple leadership position Club. </p>
<p>for a decent chance
what do I have to score on my SAT which im going to take in October?</p>
<p>You live in California right? Your chances OOS are very, very low, barring the possibility that you score +2300 on your SAT.</p>
<p>Even so, your GPA is pretty low (my school operates on the 1-4 system, so I'm not sure how to translate, but it doesn't look great), so you'd need great SATs to balance it. At least a 2000, and a +2100 would definitely help you out there.</p>
<p>Hey,
I currently live in Canada. BC.</p>
<p>Do you have any reasons for low GPA? Also, is your GPA a UC GPA? I'll admit its a pretty big reach if you're OOS (I don't know of schools in CA that use the % GPA system), but if you do want to get in, then a 2250SAT1/750+SAT IIs would probably make it a better case. Still, with your low GPA and few ECs, nothing would necessarily guarantee you a shot at any top tier UCs.</p>
<p>My GPA dropped signifcantly in the 3rd term, which I guess looks bad both ways.
In almost all courses but a few I dropped about 10 - 20 %. </p>
<p>so I basically have no shot at any decent UC's, and high SAT I, and II marks will only give me a marginally better chance?</p>
<p>Being out of state, let alone international makes it very difficult to get into a UC. You will need a very high SAT score in order to be considered.</p>
<p>I'd recommended signing up for the SAT in November now, because those are really the only 2 you can take for a UC (UC admission deadline is Nov. 30th), and since you've never taken a real SAT before and you never know what might happen, you should plan ahead.</p>
<p>I'm going to think again about taking the SAT. I really have no chance outside of UC, and the ones that I can get in are comparable to the ones here in Canada. </p>
<p>So, I was wondering if my chances of transfering into a UC in my second year of University after attending the First at a Canadian One will be possible? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>UCLA would be a reach if you were in-state, big reach if you were OOS, and more or less impossible as an international. If you were to transfer, you'd have a better shot then than you do now, granted that you do very well in the college you first attend.</p>
<p>Hey,
Do you think I would have any shot at any of the Lesser UC's?
Mid Range UC.</p>
<p>You'd need to transfer as a Junior if you wanted to transfer. Obviously you have a better chance at the lower UCs, maybe UCD or merced or something around there.</p>
<p>Assuming a 95=4.0, a 83.6=2.86.</p>
<p>Hmm. It got me to thinking. I would assume it'd be easier to trasnfer (if I had good GPA in College) from a UC to another UC, than from a Canadian one to an UC. </p>
<p>so With EC that everyone has, and a subpar GPA,
(not taken SATs yet, deciding),
I hear without at least 2300 SAT I / 750+ SAT II, I really have 0 chance. (from above)</p>
<p>Is it worth it to attempt to apply into the lower UC's (if I have a decent shot and not too big of a reach),
such as UCSB, UCD, or UCI ? </p>
<p>I was thinking even the lower UC's are more recognized than anything in Canada.</p>
<p>you're in for uci for sure reachish for ucsd</p>
<p>but his GPA is too low; might not be able to get in</p>
<p>"I'd recommended signing up for the SAT in November now, because those are really the only 2 you can take for a UC (UC admission deadline is Nov. 30th),"</p>
<p>Deadline for apps is 11/30 but if I'm not mistaken, you have until December or January to get in your scores.</p>
<p>When is the deadline for Regular Admissions?</p>
<p>Hmm... USC seems to have lower admittance GPA than the UC's ?</p>
<p>USC has a lower average GPA than UCLA/UCB, but in terms of competitiveness to get in, it's something along the lines of UCSD. If you think you'll have trouble with UCSD, USC might even be a slight reach. </p>
<p>If you could come to a community college in California, that would be your best bet to get into either Berkeley or UCLA, although with hard work an intra-UC transfer isn't all that impossible.</p>
<p>^^ what? UCSD has a 90% acceptance rate for students in the top 4% of his/her class; it admits ~20,000 students each year; its average SAT score is a 1950; 80% of those with a 31-36 ACT score were admitted; about 80% of those with an SAT CR score of 700-800 were admitted; about 70% of those with an SAT M score of 700-800 were admitted; and about 80% of those with an SAT W score of 700-800 were admitted.</p>
<p>I think USC is a bit more selective than that.</p>
<p>hey,
is there such thing as a safety for me ? (anywhere)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
