<p>I was looking for universities, actually uc's my gpa is 3.2 and I am going to take the sat in October, but I am scared of not getting accepted into uc's I am planning on applying to ucr, but what if I don't get accepted.. oh, I am scared.
Do you guys think if I can get accepted or not???
Thanks</p>

<p>Is 3.2 your UC weighted gpa? Did you take the psat what was your score? Here is the most recent UC published averages for Riverside–average so some could be a lot lower, some a lot higher. Also this is the UC weighted gpa, not the regular gpa. </p>

<p>Also, are you first generation to go to college or low income?</p>

<p>Admit rate — Overall 56.7%
Admits 19,797
Applicants 34,912</p>

<p>Averages</p>

<p>High School GPA 3.77
ACT Composite Score 25
SAT Critical Reading 562
SAT Mathematics 603
SAT Writing 574</p>

<p>Here is a better breakdown by gpa. If that is your UC gpa then you may be in the range that has a 22% acceptance rate. But if your UC gpa is weighted higher then you might be in the range that has a 55% acceptance rate.

<p>Many students don’t get accepted to the UCs so they also apply to a range of CSU. Some of those are also pretty selective–so a range. You can also start at CC. Lots of people transfer in from CC.</p>

<p>You might have a chance at UCR but you need to have several backups such as some of the Cal States as suggested by BrownParent. Are you a rising Senior? If so, there is really nothing you can do about your GPA, so you would need to get a very good SAT score. As BrownParent stated, if you are set on going to a UC, then a transfer from a CC is a better choice. There are also many good Cal States and Privates that would take you with a 3.2 GPA. Good Luck.</p>

<p>yeah I am a senior. but I never took 9th grade. I am been living in U.S.A. for 2 years so that is all I could’ve done. but I seriously don’t want to go to community colleges it is my weighted GPA my non weighted is a 3.00. also I have taken IB chemistry and honors trig & physiology. also IB calculus.
thank you all for helping…</p>

<p>well, and also I had a one other question. can I go to a Cal state for only a year and then transfer, or do I have to attend a Cal state for 2 years and then transfer??</p>

<p>Did you take the PSAT? or any practice SAT you are getting consistent scoring with?</p>

<p>It is very positive that you took some IB and honors. Is English your second language then? Being able to do that is pretty good.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure UC only take Jr year transfer.</p>

<p>Here I checked the transfer page. If you transfer from a CC you can use the TAG program to guarantee your admission
<a href=“First-Year | Apply Now | Undergraduate Admissions | UC Riverside”>http://admissions.ucr.edu/Admissions/pathsAdmissions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>For transfer from another 4 year, like a CSU you have to follow the same requirements of 60 semester units. And they don’t have a TAG. </p>

<p>@BrownParent what does this TAG means??</p>

<p>TAG is the transfer program for most UC’s (except UCLA/UCB/UCSD) see link <a href=“UC Transfer Admission Planner - UC TAP | UC Admissions”>https://uctap.universityofcalifornia.edu/students/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
