<p>I'm wondering where I stand for the UCs (LA, berkeley, davis, san diego, santa barbara, santa cruz). thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Okay, here's the news that you needed to know two years ago that nobody bothered telling you (sucks I know, but here it is):</p>
<p>The UC campuses base admissions entirely on your sophomore and junior year results . They don't count freshman year or senior year except to see how tough the courses you are taking are. They increase your UW GPA by up to 8 points if you took eight semesters of honors/AP/IB courses (1 for each course) during these sophomore and junior years. Thus, it would have helped your University of California GPA tremendously if you had taken 3 more year-long AP courses as a junior (and gotten As in them) instead of taking them now as a senior. (You did take two semesters of honors as a junior). </p>
<p>Because of this, your University of California GPA will be lower than those who took those extra AP courses, even if they got As in half of them and Bs in the other half. This puts you at a slight disadvantage relative to those going for the absolutely top UC campuses (UC Berkeley and UCLA).</p>
<p>The other thing you need to know is that the SAT Is and SAT IIs need to average around 2000 for the SAT I (total) and 1300 for SAT IIs (total) for the top campuses.</p>
<p>Given that, here are you chances at all of the campuses:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley/UCLA: Slight Reach (40 to 50%)
UCSD: Match (50% to 60%)
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Safe Match (60% to 85%)
UCSC/UCR: Safety (85% to 90%)
UCM: 100% chance of acceptance</p>
