<p>In addition, I have a great personal statement.</p>
<p>Also, my freshmen year was a mess if that matters :/ </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>UCLA might be a small reach, but schools like UCSD, UC Davis and UC Irvine seem like a match. Good luck!</p>
<p>You may already have met the guaranteed acceptance criteria for UC Riverside.</p>
<p><a href=“New Students | Apply | Undergraduate Admissions | UC Riverside”>http://admissions.ucr.edu/WhyUCR/ourGuarantee</a></p>
<p>Apply by the July 31 date and you will already have one UC acceptance. It’s non-binding, so in November you can apply to others. I think your grades and scores make you a match for UCI, UCSB and UCSC. You also have a good chance at UCD and UCSD. UCLA and UCB are reaches, but work on that personal statement and who knows?</p>
<p>My son also had a bad freshman year and this is what I posted on another thread:</p>
<p>My son also had a poor freshman year. On the UC application (after the essays) there is a place to list “additional information”. He explained about his poor grades freshman year (his junior and senior year grades were excellent), citing lack of focus, immaturity, etc. Berkeley sent him a supplemental questionnaire. If you are only applying to CSU and UC’s. you would not need letters of recommendation, but if you receive this supplemental questionnaire you do, so be sure to be known to your teachers and guidance counselor.</p>
<p>He was accepted to all UC’s he applied to (Berkeley, UCLA, Davis, UCSD, UCSB) and Cal Poly SLO.</p>
<p>4.2 weighted GPA, 2240 SAT, robotics (6 years), music (8 years). Only volunteer work was high school mandated 30 hours of community service. He received a high enough score on the American Mathematics Competition to qualify for AIME and did well on it. I should add that he attended a low API, Title One high school and was ELC (eligible in the local context), which helps with getting into the UC’s.

<p>You went from AP Calc AB to Multivariable?</p>
<p>I would say that you have a great chance at being accepted to Irvine, Santa Barbara, Davis, and Santa Cruz (Riverside is more like a safety school with your stats tbh). Your chances for San Diego are a bit less, but I’d say they’re still good (so like a high match?)</p>
<p>UCLA and Berkeley seem like low reaches. If you want to improve your chances maybe you can retake your SAT. Other than that your app seems to be really solid.</p>
