Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>My son got his SAT score - 2120 (CR-650, Math-800, Writing 670)
His GPA Unweighted - 3.85 weighted 4.45
IB (middle and high school). 4th degree blackbelt. working at kumon for one year. That's all.
Waiting for SAT-II (Math, Chem) & ACT.</p>

<p>Thank You.</p>

<p>Is he looking at highly selective departments at those universities (ie. STEM programs, or possibly Business)? If not, then I’d say he should get into Davis and UCSD easily, and probably will also get into UCLA. His prospects are good, but not as certain for the “impacted” programs. My son was accepted into Davis and UCSD with lower stats, from out-of-state, but he only applied to the regular Arts & Sciences colleges. He did not apply to UCLA, but did apply to Berkeley, and was rejected. </p>

<p>What is his UC GPA? But I think UCSD is considered a match for your son’s stats.</p>

4

<p>He has good chances but it is likely that he will be rejected from UCLA because of lack of extracurricular activities unless he invested a lot of time in those few. </p>

5

<p>UCLA chances are slim, UCD probable, UCSD maybe if you’re lucky.</p>

<p>Thank you for your inputs. UC GPA is 4.07 and hopefully it will be 4.12 by senior year.He is looking for Engineering in UC (Electrical) or Maths.
I agree, we should have paid more attention towards ECs. Now, it is what it is. 8 years of taikwondo, 6 years of dance, treasurer for a community service club and some teaching experience.I wish, we had pushed him for FBLA, robotics.
Also, does recommendation, essay matter for UC?</p>

8

<p>UCs do not accept recommendations. Essays do matter.</p>

<p>UC GPA does not count senior year.</p>

<p>UCSD and UCD seem like good fits. Maybe do more extracurriculars if he is set on UCLA</p>

<p>UCLA is reject. Others are accept

<p>UCSD seems great for him. UCD and UCLA are more reach-y though. Best of luck to him!</p>

13

<p>Good chances at UCSD and UCD. He could get into UCLA but it is a stretch for everyone because of the low acceptance rate.</p>
