@Gumbymom‌ said I wouldn’t get acceptet most likely in a chance me thread so don’t give to much significance to what she says and I also had 2 Cs in high school for anyone who’s worrying about getting into UCR with a couple of Cs

25

@Jatt2015: If you look at your Threads, I stated UCR was a Match. You got in so it is a Match. There are so many factors that go into a college admissions decision and all the variables cannot be accounted for by posting information on this website. Most posters try to give the best guess. I am not a novice at UC admissions, since I have gone through the process with both my sons in the last 2 years. I was correct on every acceptance and denial for my sons since they both and including myself, did alot of research on the best fit/best chances at the schools they applied. The chancing thread is to be used as a guideline and not the gospel truth.

26

@Gumbymom So you were 100% correct with your sons’ predictions, and I don’t know what you meant by match low reach etc. So can you explain it more clearly?
