<p>Guess where the poster above you will end up next Fall! Post stats, major, and schools you applied to in order of preference. I'll start. </p>
<p>3.88 GPA
EC: 6/10
PS: 6-7/10
Anthropology major (BA) </p>
<ol>
<li>UCB</li>
<li>UCLA </li>
<li>UCSD</li>
<li>UCD</li>
<li>UCI</li>
</ol>
<p>You didn’t list a place for major prep that’s pretty important lol</p>
<p>Also are we to revisit this thread in March/April and see who was right?</p>
<p>Some people might be insulted if other posters don’t think they’ll get in to some of the schools to which they’re applying.</p>
<p>@Gunnnn - All people can do is give their honest opinion and we will know in March/April, some might not like it but hey if they do get in after all they can always come back and boast their underdog admission.</p>
<p>OK, everyone follow Matt’s model! List GPA, Major prep, EC’s, PS, and major. Plus anything else people might find relevant! We should try to report back in April too. </p>
<p>@Gunn, Yeah, I see what you’re saying! I’ve seen this used on other forums and generally it’s a lot of fun and people tend to not take it all that seriously. Hopefully haha.</p>
<p>@Snorlaz - IMO:</p>
<p>UCB -Accepted 80/20
UCLA - Accepted 80/20
UCSD - Accepted 100/0
UCD - Accepted 100/0
UCI - Accepted 100/0</p>
<p>3.25 GPA Big upward trend
EC: 1.5/10
PS: 8/10
Sociology major (BA) </p>
<p>This list order is assuming they all offer me the same financial aid/grants/scholarships $$$.
<p>@Matt4200 imo:
<p>My Stats:
UC GPA:~3.83
Major GPA:~3.8-3.99 (somewhere inbetween prob near 3.9)</p>
<ol>
<li>UC Berkeley: Chemical Biology
-Missing one prereq, class not available anywhere near me</li>
<li>UCLA: Biochemistry
-possibly missing one or two prereqs, need to confer with counselor as circumstances have changed</li>
<li>UCSD: Biochemistry
-missing one or two prereqs; same ones as UCLA</li>
<li>UCI: Chemical Engineering (Tagged)</li>
</ol>
<p>so the problem is that i have a mixed record with 2 classes from CSUF (taken as a HS senior), and so i am subjected to a unit limit, making me unable to take missing prereqs without going over the unit limit</p>
<p>PS: honestly not anything special i feel, although i may be a little harsh on myself; but probably average
EC: none; instead worked throughout (~15-20 hrs a week) and tutored on the side (~2 hrs a week)</p>
<p>@Matt4200</p>
<ol>
<li>UCB (70/30 chance because of your life story)</li>
<li>UCSB (80/20)</li>
<li>UCSD (60/40)</li>
<li>SDSU (100/0)</li>
<li>UCLA (20/80 because UCLA is almost excessively concerned with numbers, unlike Berkeley. Then again, the other UCs not including Berkeley care about numbers only, it seems.)</li>
</ol>
<p>Well, now my stats:</p>
<p>3.88 GPA</p>
<p>EC: 1/10
PS: 6/10</p>
<p>Philosophy major (BA)</p>
<p>List of schools I applied to in order of preference:</p>
<ol>
<li>UCLA: All pre-reqs completed.</li>
<li>UC Berkeley: pre-reqs aren’t offered at most CCs, so it doesn’t matter.</li>
<li>UCSD: Didn’t complete UCSD’s one pre-req</li>
<li>UCSB: Completed pre-reqs.</li>
<li>UCI: One pre-req missing.</li>
</ol>
<p>@Bookham </p>
<p>UCB - Accepted 60/40
UCLA Rejected 40/60
UCI - Accepted 100/0
UCSB - Accepted 75/25</p>
<p>@Cayton - Rly? You think my PS is UCB good?</p>
<p>UCLA - Accepted 90/10 Avg GPA enrolled is 3.55 for you major
UCB - Accepted 90/10
UCSD - Accepted 90/10 only because if they only had 1 Pre-Rec and it’s not complete
UCSB - Accepted 100/0
UCI - 100/0</p>
<p>Just sit back and wait for those acceptances!!!</p>
<p>@Matt4200</p>
<p>Well, I skimmed over your PS and I know about your situation and how you overcame it. Berkeley likes people like you, so I think you have a good shot there. Sadly, the other UCs don’t value that very much, but they’re not as good as Berkeley. ;)</p>
<p>And I’m glad you think my acceptance chances are high, even for Berkeley. I’ve always felt a little iffy about Berkeley because of its more holistic process. It benefits people like you, as it should, but it hurts my chances somewhat because I have no good ECs and my PS is so-so. Regardless, all UCs should do the holistic process in my opinion.</p>
<p>@Snorlaz I dont know about the completion of your prereqs/IGETC, but assuming there are no major problems there…</p>
<p>UCB: Accepted 85/15
UCLA: Accepted 85/15
UCI: Accepted 100/0
UCSD: Accepted 100/0
UCD: Accepted 100/0</p>
<p>@Matt4200: Your GPA is on the low side, this might be a bit harsh</p>
<p>UCLA: Rejected 20/80
UCB: Rejected 30/70 (UCB tends to value the essays more than the others)
UCSD: 50/50
UCSB: Accepted 55/45
SDSU: Accepted 90/10</p>
<p>@Bookham: Tough major man, but your GPA is good, so your definitely competitive for all.</p>
<p>UCB: 50/50
UCLA: Rejected 35/65
UCI: Accepted 100/0
UCSD: Accepted 60/40</p>
<p>@Cayton: You should be in everywhere, I’d be shocked if you didn’t get into all.</p>
<p>UCLA: 90/10
UCB: 90/10
UCSD:95/5
UCSB: 100/0
UCI: 100/0</p>
<p>Heres my stats</p>
<p>Major: Political Science
UC GPA: 3.93
IGETC: Done
EC’s: 7-8/10 - Competitive athlete, lots of work experience (business related and tutoring) and volunteer hours… not major related though
Essays:9/10: Wrote about overcoming very rough life circumstances</p>
<p>Schools (In order of preference):</p>
<p>UCLA: Pre-reqs completed - 3/5 (the others are not offered at my school or at most CCC’s) but completing 3 (according to assist) is the minimum requirement.</p>
<p>USC (Applied as Business Admin, USC GPA should also be 3.93, major pre-reqs done.</p>
<p>UCB: Pre-reqs completed - 2/4 (Learned recently that they don’t accept AP credits for the 2 remaining pre reqs)</p>
<p>UCSB: Pre-reqs completed - All</p>
<p>UCSD: Pre-reqs completed - All</p>
<p>Im basically UCLA/USC or bust…</p>
<p>@nickkwooddd</p>
<p>I’d say you have an 80% chance of getting in at UCLA. UCB is iffy…your life story will help in the admissions process, so maybe 60~70%. 100% chance at UCSB and UCSD. Don’t know anything about USC.</p>
<p>@nickkwooddd also, I would say your GPA is very strong and that your EC’s and personal statement will give you an edge over some other applicants. I would say:</p>
<p>UCSD - 100/100
UCSB - 100/100
UCLA - 82/100
UCB - 75/100
USC - 82/100</p>
<p>Here are my stats: </p>
<p>Major: Computer Science
UC GPA: 3.47
IGETC: Done by this Spring
EC’s: 3/10
Essays: 7.5/10</p>
<p>Schools in order of preference:</p>
<p>UCSD: completing last prereq this Spring
UCB: will be missing one prereq
UCD: will be missing one prereq
UCI: completing last prereq this Spring
UCSC: will be missing two prereqs</p>
<p>Ok, this looks fun! </p>

UCSD: Accepted
UCD: Accepted (this campus before Irvine, REALLY? Lol)

Berkeley: 50/50 chance.
UCSD: Accepted
Irvine: Accepted
Santa Barbara: Accepted</p>
<p>nickkwooddd</p>
<p>Berkeley: 50/50 Missing those prereqs may work against you. But your PS can boost you!

USC: Accepted (60/40 chance)
UCSB: Accepted
UCSD: Accepted</p>
<p>bhav007</p>

<p>Berkeley: All prereqs completed.

UCI: All prereqs completed.
UCSD: Tagged. Completing last prereq in the spring.</p>
<p>@Cayton -</p>
<p>Yeah life can be easy for some and harder for others, more obstacles have been put in my way but somehow I’ve made it this far.</p>
<p>As for you and UCB I definitely think you’re good, yeah your EC’s could be better, and a 6/10 PS is about average TBH but you have perseverance and a 3.88 GPA with a philosophy major is really good like UCLA and UCB good, I think you just gotta sit n relax.</p>
<p>@Nickkwooodd - No that’s about what I expected, except for UCSB, I TAG’d there and met the TAG, but even without it my GPA is great for my major especially with all major prep why’d you put 55/45?</p>
<p>@Bhav007 - </p>
<p>UCI 85/15 They use the PS in their admissions
UCD 85/15
UCSD 65/35
UCSC 70/30
UCB 20-25/80-75 (Depending on content and quality of PS)</p>
<p>@OCnative -</p>
<p>UCB: 90/10 (Accepted) PS and EC’s give you that push
UCLA: 95/5 (Accepted)
UCI: 100/0 (Accepted)
UCSD: 100/0 (Accepted)</p>
<p>@Matt4200</p>
<p>I appreciate the reassuring words! Let’s hope we all get in to our respective dream schools.
@ocnative:
Berkeley: 90/10 chance, I think.
UCLA: Completing a pre-req in spring for an impacted major might hurt you, but your application is otherwise stellar. I think you have a 60~70% chance here.
UCI: 100/0
UCSD: 100/0</p>
<p>@Ocnative
