UCLA - but low subject test :(

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi I am a senior applying to the UCs and want to know what my chances to UCLA, UCB, and UCSD are.
UCLA is my dream school, just curious to see if I have what it takes to get in.</p>

<p>Applying to computer engineering
Male
CA Resident</p>

<p>Academic:
4.0 UW GPA 4.3 W GPA 4.0 UC GPA
Ranked 1 out of 512 (Valedictorian)
Rigorous AP Classes</p>

<p>Test Scores:
2130 SAT Score ACT-didn't take
680 CR<br>
740 Math
710 Writing</p>

<p>Only took math subject test (subject tests aren't required, but a math and a science are recommended)
Math II Subject Test (690)-disappointing
I realize engineers need high math test scores and I scored poorly here :(</p>

<p>ECs:
Soccer in HS all 4 years (1 award sophomore year)
Track and Field in HS 2 years
Tae Kwon Do for 10 years (various trophies in competition)
Club Soccer for 10 years
NHS (4 years)
JSA (2 years)
Volunteering Club at my school (all 4 years)
Volunteer at a hospital (50 hrs)
Volunteer at a local community service (45 hrs)
Food Bank (20 hrs)</p>

<p>ehhhhh. ucla is a bit of a reach, especially b/c you also don’t have a science subject test at all. depending on your income bracket, ucla is probably mid reach. ucb is high reach–their eecs program is extremely competitive. ucsd is probably a match. </p>

<p>I think you miscalculated your capped UC GPA. If your unweighted GPA is 4.0 and you took AP courses, then your capped UC GPA should be above 4.0. <a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I think it’s possible you will be accepted but not overwhelmingly likely (or unlikely for that matter).</p>

<p>Apply around. I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere great!</p>

5

<p>Reach for the top tier UCs. Mid tier should be ok. Your SAT score is not competitive.</p>

<p>UCLA-low match
UCSD-match
UCB-reach</p>

<p>If you weren’t applying for Computer Engineering I would say you have a 90%+ chance of getting in, but now it’s more like 70%. Still, you’re a CA Resident and UCs care more about GPA than standardized testing scores. Good luck my man.</p>

<p>I think all UCs are maths since UCs mainly look at GPA than test scores and you have a fantastic GPA</p>

11

<p>I think that your scores are decent. I’d say low reach. Good luck! Chance back? :slight_smile: <a href=“Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums”>Chance me for Vassar I'll chance back :) - Vassar College - College Confidential Forums;

<p>Thank you everyone for the input. Bump</p>

<p>How can your UC GPA be 4.0 if you’ve gotten straight A’s with AP classes? Should be >4.0. If it is 4.0, then I would say mid reach. If it’s 4.3, low reach. </p>

<p>Haha we’re applying for the same major. Chance back?</p>
