<p>Thanks guys! Do you think I’ll get into one of the matches listed? I really hope LA. I feel like if USC accepts me I won’t be able to afford it haha.</p>

<p>Oh I also have sat subjects of 770 Us history and 700 math 2</p>

<p>You look like a good match at most UCs. </p>

<p>Stanford: Reach
Rice: Low reach
Duke: Reach
Cornell: Low Reach
USC: Match
Berkeley: Match
UCLA: Match
UCSD: Low match</p>

<p>Reaches at Stanford, Rice, Duke and Cornell (low reach at cornell).</p>

<p>UC’s and USC you’re a solid match (with the exception of ucsd, which is low match)</p>

8

<p>Thanks indoman081! Although, I’m a bit confused because your stats seem similar to mine <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1434906-any-chances-getting-ucs-i-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1434906-any-chances-getting-ucs-i-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>yet on your thread, people are saying high match for UCLA and Berkeley which I really want to get into.</p>

<p>** Also, my SAT subjects are U.S History 770, World History 660, and Math II 700. I only sent in my U.S history score to the UCs (Subjects are optional) because I was worried about the percentiles of Math II.</p>

<p>Bump w/ MidYear Report Semester just ended! I got a 5.0 Weighted / 4.0 UW. [All of them were A-]</p>

<p>Also, I noticed a mistake… My cumulative GPA 9-11 is UW: 3.75 W: 4.14</p>

<p>While my cumulative GPA 10-11 (For UCs) is UW: 3.80 W: 4.36</p>

<p>The senior grades aren’t submitted into my transcript yet, so I don’t know what my new GPAs are with 1st Semester Senior year if it matters. I’m pretty sure my rank will improve significantly though. Anyway, could anyone chance me for these same colleges? I am hoping that I get into UCLA if anything… I have UCI and Chapman as possible backups but I hope it doesn’t go there LOL.</p>

13

<p>Bump. Can’t we just fastforward to March .__… </p>

<p>So my new gpas are 9-11 UW: 3.78 W:4.24
10-11 UW: 3.83 W: 4.48</p>

<p>New Rank 9-11: 11 10-11: 5</p>

<p>Will my improvement in midyear report help for privates help? As for UCs I’m really nervous about getting into at least la or Berkeley. I plan on appealing to la and berkeley with my semester grades and possibly discuss things that hindered my academics if I get denied. Anyway, can anyone reevaluate and chance me for UCs and privates again?! :)</p>

14

<p>Just a side note, I don’t think you can appeal a UC decision using senior year semester grades as a reason.</p>

15

<p>Yeah, I know but I’ve read that it’s part of the appeal decision plus you have to show new evidence not in application before and whatnot</p>
