<p>Cloud007:</p>

<p>UCSD: Super Reach (out of state)
UCI: Reach (out of state)
UCSB: Reach (out of state)
UCD: Reach (out of state)
UCSC: Slight Reach (out of state)</p>

<p>ouch.
well heh.. at least it's not impossible right?
at least its still just a reach..
maybe they'd like an international for a change..
just trying to be optimistic : (</p>

4

<p>i think all the schools are reaches...
but if you do better on ur SATs,
i think UCSC might be a match.
SDS and cal poly i think you are PRETTY good chances.</p>

5

<p>go to a cal state</p>

6

<p>if you're goal is to go to California...
- San Diego State and CalPoly Pomona, CalPoly SLO are your safeties...
- UCSC, UCD, UCR are matches...</p>

<p>i got into UCI with a 3.3 and the same goes with 20 other people I know... but then again we're instate and we live in Irvine....</p>

<p>none of the UCs are matches except maybe Riverside. he barely meets the in-state GPA requirement to get into a UC, and his SAT is sufficient instate only for UCR, UCSC, UCI, maybe UCD. that is all instate. </p>

<p>matches will be cal states, come on there pretty good. or look at some of the private universities</p>

8

<p>Cal Poly SLO and SDSU are reaches as well. Avg. gpa for slo was a 3.9. For sdsu it's a 3.5. Add in the fact that the applicant is out-of-state, and these are pretty high reaches. </p>

<p>Matches- UCR, cal poly pomona, maybe UCSC</p>

<p>You need a 3.4 or above to be eligible if you're out of state in the UC system. Since the original poster said 3.3-3.4, hopefully he's in the 3.4 range, otherwise he'll be out of luck.</p>
