<p>Quick post here, going by these facts alone, what are my chances for getting into all or any of the UC's?</p>
<p>SAT 2300
GPA 3.8 UW /4.5 W
6 "5's" on AP
only two significant EC's </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>oh btw, EECS for cal/LA.</p>
<p>what are these ECs??</p>
<p>Yes, what are your ECs? Any honors/awards? How will your essays be?</p>
<p>essays: one is very strong, and the other is fairly good</p>
<p>ECs: 200 hrs of community service in one form or another. :)</p>
<p>honors: nhs, ap scholar w/ distinction</p>
<p>Good chance.</p>
<p>I'd say:</p>
<p>Berkeley: high match - match
UCLA: match - safe match</p>
<p>The rest of the UCs are safeties.</p>
<p>they are both very hard to get into, but you have a good chance for both.</p>
<p>knowing about the hollistic method the top UC's really take a look at you in an all-around manner, but needless to say 3.8/2300 you're pretty much a good match to both.</p>
<p>Thanks folks :)</p>
<p>would anyone else like to comment? i'm worried about only having two EC's and I'm applying to the engineering schools in the campuses which are more selective :/</p>
<p>Hmm, I didn't see that bit. If your ECs can't really distinguish you, I'd say Berkeley's at best a slight reach. What are they? Are you very passionate/devoted to them? Do they have anything to do with your intended major? If it's just volunteering (as you said above), Berkeley EECS is probably a slight reach - reach, even though your SAT is very high.</p>
<p>are you ELC?
because if you are.
YOUR LIKE GUARANTEEED IN
AT UCSD
AND LIKE 60% chance at UCLA/UCB
which is almost like YOUR GETTIN IN
you know?</p>
<p>^^ by that logic, everyone has a 40% chance when applying to the University of Chicago.</p>
<p>The "chance" based on percentage doesn't work, because chance assumes that the event is random. Admissions are not random.</p>
<p>one of my EC's is tutoring mathematics, which relates to cs/ee i suppose
my other volunteering is in a hospital as I would like to attend medical school after getting my degree, but I am not sure how I can convey this in my application.</p>
<p>I've also taken both AP Comp Sci courses and received 5's</p>
<p>please allow me to elaborate on my academics:
i made a couple of errors on the original post; i received a 2320 and 7 5's on AP tests. also, my weighted GPA is slightly higher than that (by 0.1 or so) SAT Subj Tests: Math2C 800, Chem 750, USH 770.</p>
<p>I am also taking nearly all the most difficult classes offered at my school and will be taking 5 more AP exams this year!</p>
<p>i am quite confident in my essays, i'd say they are about an 8.5/10 overall if that can be said about an essay ;)</p>
<p>yes I am ELC. and I think I'd prefer UCLA over UCB because of area, social life, environment, etc.. even if the UCB campus is absolutely humongous</p>
<p>Did I miss it or did you not say yet whether you are in-state or not?</p>
<p>sorry, yes, I am in state.</p>
