<p>I wanted to know if the UC admission officers have a geographical bias when making their decision when admitting folks to UCLA or UCB (Cal) ?</p>
<p>I am from Northern Cal and really prefer UCLA over Cal, but am afraid of applying to both in case they see that I am from Northern Cal and admit me to Cal over UCLA. </p>
<p>I could just apply to UCLA, but I want to keep my options open - </p>
<p>Thoughts ?</p>
<p>BTW - I have a SAT score of 2160 (710, 720, 730), ACT score of 28 and an a-g GPA of 4.05, and weighted GPA of 4.34</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into UCLA or Cal ?</p>
<p>There is a huge difference between your SAT and ACT scores o.o just saying.
uhhhh what is your class rank?
And your SAT II scores
Class schedule
Extra currics?
Service hours?
Leadership?</p>
<p>As far as getting in, it really depends on your resume as a whole. Your academics look great. How’s your volunteer and community service? These REALLY make a HUGE impact as far as admissions go.</p>
<p>Encouraging to know that no UC sees which other UCs you applied to - cos I had heard that they were trying to steer kids to non impacted UCs or less prestigious UCs.</p>
<p>Not sure what you meant by “huge difference between your SAT and ACT” ?</p>
<p>Rank 28 out of 330 (top 10%)

<p>Work internship during summer as a Data Analyst

<p>btw - do you know if I can apply to 3 UCs - submit my app and then a day or two later - go back and add another UC (before the deadline) ?</p>
