UCs and USC

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi, I'm a senior from California (a potential Poli Sci or IR major) who would like to know his chances at UCB, UCLA, UCSD, USC, UCI, UCSB, and UCR. These are my final stats, BTW.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.67 (UW) / 3.82 (UC) / 4.10 (High School) - My UC GPA looks low because the system only gives extra credit for a total of eight honors and AP semesters taken during sophomore and junior years, while I had taken a grand total of 16 semesters.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 30 / 601</p>

<p>SAT I: 710 (M) / 730 (V)</p>

<p>SAT II: 740 Writing / 700 Math IC / 740 US History</p>

<p>AP's: I took European History sophomore year (got a 4 on the test) and took English Language (5), US History (4), Chemistry (4), and Calculus AB (4) during my junior year. This year, I am taking AP Statistics, Biology, Psychology, and English Literature.</p>

<p>Honors Courses: Freshman year, I took Honors Biology and Literature. Sophomore year, I took Honors Chemistry, Pre-Calculus, and World Literature. This year, I am taking Honors American Government, because AP Government was not offered.</p>

<p>EC's: I have been a devoted member of Academic Decathlon, the Computer Club, Chess Club, and the California Scholarship Federation since freshman year. I have been Treasurer, and am now President, for Academic Decathlon and Vice President of Computer Club.</p>

<p>Volunteering: I spent some time this summer at a local convalescent center and created strong relationships with many patients and employees there.</p>

<p>My Personal Statement essays weren't phenomenal, but in comparison to others I have read, well above average. Thank you all, in advance, for your responses and comments.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure you have a good shot at USC, I'm not too sure about UCLA and UCB, they're always random, the other uc's you 'll get into. But why isn't Claremont McKeena on your list. They're very good in political science and they're very politcally active.</p>

<p>I'm applying to UCLA and USC with stats that are pretty similar to yours, except for my GPA (which is roughly 4.2 on the UC system). USC seems like a pretty solid match for you, and UCLA is a little bit more of a crap shoot.</p>

<p>More specifically, how do I look for UCSD?</p>
