<p>Hi Loki,</p>

<p>UCSD: Slight Reach
You have good SAT IIs and your SAT 1 score will be right on par with other applicants. However, your low GPA will really, really hurt you. Also, your extracurriculars will not make you stand out from other applicants. </p>

<p>UCD: Slight Reach/Match
As said above, you have a good SAT 1 and SAT II scores - however, your low GPA may hurt you here.</p>

<p>UCI: Match/Slight Reach
If this will even be a slight reach, it will be very, very slight. Again, your SAT scores are good enough for this tier school, but your GPA may hurt you. </p>

<p>UCSB: Match/Safe Match
Your excellent SAT II scores and high SAT score will help you get into this one. Your GPA will not hurt you that badly here. </p>

<p>UCR: Safety
Well, I've pretty much said it all : )</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Personally I think you should have applied to UCLA.</p>

4

<p>Wouldn't UCLA be too high a reach for me...? -_-</p>

<p>And my ACT score is roughly 2170 if translated to SAT. Hopefully that'll help? =P</p>

<p>yeah UCLA is out of the picture with ur GPA. UCLA has groupings 4.0 above (40 percent of ppl get in fro thi group) 3.7-3.99 *17 percent) and 3.5-3.69 (8 percent). Your groupin gis 4 percent for UCLA. ur a slight reach at UCSD. I think u might get in and ur ACT/Sat 2's would be ur saving grace but your weighted UC Gpa is crippling. UCI/UCD you should make; but UCSD is a coin flip</p>

<p>L0ki:</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Match
UCR: Safe Match</p>

<p>Bump. By the way, hella kudos to you flopsy. You're really helpin out the forum. =]</p>

<p>If your GPA were 3.8 or above, UCLA would be a definite match for you given your high ACT score. The avg. SAT is around 2000 for both UCLA and UCB.</p>
