I received a 4.0 for ninth grade, if it matters.
Completed three APs. Bio = 5, Chem = 5, Comp Sci = 4</p>

<p>I have completed 4 honors courses, but I am not sure if UCs give "honors" credit for them; I excluded this from my weighted GPA</p>

wustl</p>

<p>Yes I am brave enough to apply to those "big" schools.</p>

<p>Thanks very much</p>

<p>well in light of being tough:</p>

<p>they are all reaches and you have 0% at UCLA and UCB</p>

3

<p>being tough doesnt mean being unrealistic</p>

4

<p>I wouldn't call UCI a reach here, but all of the other ones....</p>

5

<p>Indignation:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCI: Safe Match</p>

<p>Thanks guys, and Flopsy what would make UCLA/UCB matches?</p>

7

<p>i was just being tough...</p>

<p>Actually, if you computed your UC GPA using only 3 APs, but one of your "honors" courses, counts as an "honors" using the California definition, then your UC GPA would be higher (4.16).</p>

<p>If you have a 4.16 GPA and a 2000 SAT and decent ECs, then you are a match for all of the UCs--including Berkeley and Los Angeles (UCLA). </p>

<p>Here are the admit profiles for the UCs last year:</p>

<p>UCLA--match
UCB--match
UCSD--match
UCI--safe match
JHU (ED)--slight reach
Rice (EA)-match to slight reach
emory--match
northwestern--slight reach
USC--match
wustl--slight reach</p>

<p>IF you want to know if any of the honors courses count in computing the UC GPA, go to this site and put in the name of your high school:</p>
