<p>Yeah, i know, i'm applying to a lot of colleges. i especially want to go to UCLA, UCSD, Cal or UMichigan AA. Do I have a chance at them?</p>

<p>Notable: I got a D+, then C in a Calc AB/AP class one year. But i retook the class, and got B's both semesters the next year.</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight reach
UCSB and rest: Match</p>

<p>when you said "UCSB and rest", you meant the rest of the UCs, right? </p>

<p>Because as much as I want it to be, I dont think the other schools are matches, especially since I'm going into Engineering.</p>

4

<p>I still say match. Maybe flopsy and others will disagree.</p>

5

<p>Really? Awesome. I have no problem with Michigan Ann Arbor being a match.</p>

<p>edit: my bad, the UC GPA is 3.75. Does that make much of a difference anyway, though?</p>

6

<p>Oh, I never said Michigan was a match, just the rest of the UCs.</p>

<p>Sorry! I can't say for Mich...</p>

7

<p>Agh, i knew it was too good to be true. :P</p>

<p>can i get some more responses, please? :]</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply guys. Wow, it disappoints me that UCB and UCLA are probably not even in the picture, but excites me that U- Michigan has been rated by you guys as close to a match.</p>

13

<p>Reach doesn't mean you won't get it. Reach just means you'll have to be realistic about your chances.</p>

14

<p>yeah. i'll apply, but i won't hold my breath.</p>

15

<p>BUMP! I just realized my UC GPA is actually 3.90 (they don't count my D and C in Calc because I took it again and got a B and B the next year). Does that change anything for the chances? </p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

16

<p>it does improve things but probably not enough to change what category you fall in. Every school on your list, except possibly Rice, is possible and any given one could go for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply and wishing me good luck. I know I'm gonna need it. By the way, I'm not thinking about applying to Rice anymore. I just dont see it happening and I'm swamped in applications as it is.</p>
