<p>Do I Still Have A Chance? What Are My Chances For A School Like Ucsd Or Ucla? Help =)</p>
<p>UCs only count soph and jr. years. It is VERY important at UCs that you have taken the hardest classes available at your school. A 4.0 in all regular classes is not comparable to a 4.0 in honors and APs. </p>
<p>The average UC GPA at UCLA and UCSD are over 4.0, and the vast majority of kids will have taken a large number of honors and APs. </p>
<p>Make your junior year schedule as strong as possible, do well, get a 2000 and I think you can try for mid tier UCs (SB, Davis, Irvine).</p>
<p>Definitely on the right track for Santa Barbara, Davis, Irvine and Santa Cruz.
UCLA and UCSD are big reaches for you.
Go to collegeboard.com where you can look up colleges and see what GPA's and SAT scores they want.
Stick with your major ec's like drill team.
Take as many higher level (weighted) classes as possible, which will help your GPA.
Also see your high school counselor, who can help you with all this stuff.</p>
<p>So Next Year My Junior Year If I Do Really Good With My Grades And Get A High Sat Scaroes Is There Still A Chance? What Gpa Should I Try To Get To Make Up For It? And Is My Extra Curricular Enough?</p>
<p>I would recommend you go to this site - <a href="http://www.ucop.edu/pathways%5B/url%5D">www.ucop.edu/pathways</a> - and read everything you can on admissions to the UC's - learn about how they will compute your GPA (not all classes will count) and what test scores are required based on your GPA. Read about the comprehensive review system. Study the three different options for eligibility. The same site also has detailed information about this year's acceptances at each UC school. But, don't drive your self crazy --- you still have a full year of classes, grades and test taking before it makes sense to be asking anyone what your chances are --- so, for now, just get informed about the UC admissions process, work hard in school next year, and perhaps start prepping over the summer to do well on the SATs. Good luck!</p>
