UC System Out of state

<p>Consult your adviser, or contact a UC admissions office, regarding recognition of Honors classes. Does your school participate in Naviance? If so, you can get an idea of how students have done in UC admissions. My son was pleasantly surprised that they weighted his GPA as generously as they did (he was NJ resident, but attended school in PA). Haven’t you taken SATs or ACTs yet? Do you have any actual, rather than “most likely” results? My son had an unweighted GPA of 3.3-3.4, but his AP, IB, and Honors classes pushed him over 4.0 under UC-weighting. His SAT scores were higher than yours (2060 on second seating, with a comparable ACT score of 31). He got into UCSD and Davis, but rejected from Berkeley. I think UCLA and Berkeley are probably out of range, and UCSD is a reach unless your test scores exceed expectations and your UC-weighted GPA is in the vicinity of 4.0. Calculate your UC GPA. You might have a shot at Davis, Irvine, or UCSB, but not if your UC GPA is below 3.8 or so. I would say that UCSC is a match for you. Also, bear in mind that all the Engineering and STEM programs within the UC system are what they call “impacted,” meaning that they are more selective than the Arts & Science colleges. Good luck!</p>
