Got a presidential volunteering award from it.</p>
<p>I don’t have a lot of info for CSUs, but I think that your rank is great for most UCs. If you can get a 2000 on the SAT or 31 on the ACT (I know it’s hard), you can definitely get in to Davis and UCSD. UCSD is a bit tricky, but since bio is your area, UCD is a great choice and you will probably get in if you jumped up your SAT by about 150 or so points. I only say that since bio is very impacted major. You might also wanna take SAT II for bio since you’re going for bio</p>
<p>I will take Math 2 and Biology M and Physics.</p>
<p>CSUs are generally easier to get into than UCs, and you seem rather matched for most UCs.</p>
<p>UCs don’t admit by major^^ unless its engineering or arts</p>
<p>The UCs and CSU use only a-g courses from soph and jr year. They cap you at 8 semester AP bonus points. They also ignore +/-. This can have a big impact on GPA.</p>
<p>Assuming you calculated yours this way, you are a shoe in for all the CSUs. SLO is a bit opaque because they consider freshman grades and different factors. I’d be shocked if you were rejected.</p>
<p>For UCs, you are well qualified for Davis, SB, SC and I. San Diego, could go either way. A bump in your test scores would help a LOT.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I guess I’ll try my luck and apply for all of them.</p>
<p>You’re easily in at every single one of those because of your near perfect GPA</p>
<p>I’m kinda worried because Biology is impacted at Davis.</p>
<p>I’d think you could get in to all the CSUs no problem with that major. UCSD and UCD would be a little tougher, but you’re probably good for UCSC. Don’t know either way for UCSB or UCD.</p>
