<p>I've applied to all of the UCs and now I'm waiting for their decisions. Here are my stats...</p>
<p>GPA: 2.88
ACT: 26
SAT: 1990
SAT Chinese: 710
SAT Math: 660</p>
<h2>AP Classes</h2>
<p>AP Chemistry
AP World History
AP Government
AP Physics
AP Literature
AP Language</p>
<p>I also have many volunteer hours at public libraries helping children.</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting in to a UC? Which ones and what are my chances...?</p>
<p>You're GAP is too low for automatic admission. Your SAT's are high enough to probably compensate though. Why don't you apply yourself in class?</p>
<p>Some things happened within my family during my junior year and the workload got a little too heavy with the AP classes. I didn't drop any of them and it dragged my GPA down. I thoroughly explained it in my essays though. so what are my chances =</p>
<p>I'd shoot for UCR/UCSC/UCM. I think UCLA/UCB are big reaches, and UCSD/UCI/UCSB/UCD are reaches.</p>
<p>I really want to go to Irvine. How are my chances looking?</p>
<p>what i was told is that
you NEED to have above a 3.0 to be elligble to apply to any of them and be accepted.</p>
<p>So uh
good look
ull need it</p>
<p>yea unless you're in the top 4% of a designated california school, a 3.0 or above is a requirement.</p>
<p>... unless that's your unweighted gpa?</p>
<p>if you spent 30+minutes a night....you would have decent chance at some schools but...i dont know...</p>
<p>With a 3.0, you'd have a slight chance at Irvine.</p>
<p>With under a 3.0, check out UCSC, UCR, and UCM.</p>
<p>disagree</p>
<p>UC's require a 3.0 gpa
(it is completely mandatory)</p>
<p>to clear anything up: </p>
<p>and more specifically:</p>
<p>^^ Yeah, I thought the 3.0 requirement was for scholarships... Although, according to the College Board:</p>
<pre><code>* 45% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
* 36% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
* 16% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49
* 3% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24
</code></pre>
<p>for Irvine.</p>
<p>volunteer hours won't help that much..umm is that 2.88 UC unweighted or weighted GPA? or is it your school's unweighted or weighted GPA? well your SAT is decent; however, i don't think it would compensate the 2.88 as much. about your essays, did u write about how u would improve or something after your junior yr and do well senior yr? if it is that case, then i hope your 1st + 2nd semester (especially first semester) senior gpa is higher than 2.88. that would help a lot. i also suggest that u should keep in contact with the UCs, making yourself more interested to their universities so that they will notice. its not really sucking up, its more like oh yeah i really want to get into ur college regardless no matter what, and i'm determined to do whatever it takes (that kinda attitude). especially for irvine.</p>
<p>how do i show them I'm interested and I want to get in? Here are my grades...</p>

<p>Both UCs and CSUs are largely numbers driven. Essays are minimal and there are no recs. You will do better at a private college if your scores are stronger than your GPA.</p>
<p>bump..........</p>

<p>enelrahc:</p>
<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB/UCLA: Super Reach
UCSD: Super Reach
