UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, and UCR chances

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello! I was just hoping for some outside criticism on my chances at UCLA. It's my top choice but I'm not getting too hopeful just encase. UCSD and UCSB are my next choices so hopefully I get into one of those as well haha. Without further ado, here is a breakdown of my accomplishments. (All a-g requirements will have been fulfilled by senior year).</p>

<p>Freshman Year: I took 3 "Accelerated" classes and 3 regular and got a 3.33 first semester and 3.83 second semester. Together I got a 3.58.</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: I had 2 honors, 2 AP, and 2 regular classes and got a 3.83 first semester (4.17 weighted and 4.5 with honors included) and 3.66 (4.00 weighted and 4.33 with honors included). My GPA dropped since for half the second semester there was some family stuff going on. Together I got a 3.75 (3.96 weighted and 4.42 with honors included).</p>

<p>Junior Year: I have 5 AP classes and 1 honors class. I got a 3.83 (4.67 weighted and 4.83 with honors included) first semester and I got a 4.00 (4.83 weighted and 5.00 with honors included) second semester :P Together I have a 3.93 (4.75 weighted and 4.92 with honors included).</p>

<p>Senior Year: I will take 5 AP and 1 regular class to show that I am continuing to challenge myself beyond junior year.</p>

<p>Note: I have taken English, History, Math and Science, all at maximum difficulty for all four years, while only taking Spanish for two years. I took AP Physics B to supplement my lack of foreign language.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT: I bombed the SAT lol..... I did however score a 32 on the ACT!</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities: Link Crew (3 years, two as a comissioner), Tutor (3 years), Key Club (3 years), NHS (2 years), CSF (4 years), volunteer at dentist office (4 years), Recycle Club (3 years, 1 as VP and one as President), tennis (4 years, 1 as captain), and my senior year volunteering at the Aquarium of the Pacific.</p>

<p>My school is ranked 1216th (silver division) in the nation if that matters at all. I also want to point out that my GPA has gradually increased from freshman to junior year which is something that people say matter for college. Thank you ahead of time for your help!</p>

<p>I also have a question, if I apply as undeclared does that help my chances of getting in? Truthfully please haha.</p>

<p>Hey there! I definitely think you can get into UCSB and UCSD. I wouldn’t be worried about UCSB especially. As for UCLA… They are always so random with how they choose so it’s hard to tell. Just to have some reassurance, I’d retake the ACT and try and get a 34 to compensate for not having a strong SAT, but thats just my opinion. I think your ECs are great but not outstanding… Although you definitely have a good chance at admission. Who knows, though. UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley, etc. etc. are all so random with their acceptances. Best of luck!</p>

<p>What is your UC GPA? I don’t think UCs take into account of freshman year.</p>

<p>UC do not look at Freshman year. I think you are set for all of them.

<p>…I’d kill for your gpa ahaha </p>

<p>I know a handful of kids with similar stats to yours and they got into at least UCSD. </p>

<p>UCLA & UCB are usually a bit iffy each year, but you honestly have a really solid chance into making into both depending on your major. Keep it up! </p>

<p>I don’t have stats as great as yours…but it would be awesome if you can chance me back
