What are my chances for UC Schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>My #1 school I am applying to is UCSD (Warren or Muir preferably) with UCLA and UCB just being yolo reach, while also considering Irvine (#2), Davis (#3), and Cal Poly SLO (#4). I have also applied to UCR and SDSU as safety nets I confidently want to be an electrical engineer and I fully understand how impacted this major is in the top UC schools, which is my main concern. Anyway, here is my scholastic profile as of now:</p>

<p>Academic Stats:
- Unweighted GPA: 4.0
- UC/CSU GPA: 4.36
- Uncappted GPA (not sure how relevant/significant this is): 4.64
- I took a majority of the rigorous courses that my school offered such as AP Physics, AP English Language and Composition, AP Calculus, etc., but I did not become an IB candidate.
- 31 ACT Score (31 English / 33 Math / 31 Reading / 28 Science)
- 1780 SAT (going to send my ACT score regardless of this because I dislike the SAT format haha)
- No subject tests, which is my main concern :[ </p>

<p>AP Test Scores (not sure how relevant this is):
- Lang & Comp: 4
- Physics B: 4
- US History: 3
- World History: 4
- Planning on taking Calculus and Economics this May</p>

<p>Extracurriculars/Leadership:
I tried my best to add depth to my outside-of-school activities in order to avoid the stereotypical "resume builders." This will also carry over to my community service hours.
- B-boy (breakdancing) Club President from 9th-12th grade
- Volleyball player (JV sophomore year, Varsity during my latter half of high school)
- Club Volleyball player during the off season from 10th-12th grade
- Link Crew Officer 11th-12th grade, which are the only two grades that are eligible for this organization (I'm unsure if other schools have a Link Crew, but basically we run freshmen orientation and help ease the transition from middle school to high school for freshmen)
- California Scholarship Federation (CSF) Lifetime Member</p>

<p>Community Service Hours: A little more than 100 hours in total
- Tutor for my school's Academic Recovery Center (ARC) which was a mandatory tutoring program for students that were failing their respective English or mathematics courses
- 1-on-1 tutor for my school's Math department. This also branched off to Physics tutoring.
- Assistant in a Bboy class at a local dance studio
- Typical church volunteer work (I am a practicing Catholic)</p>

<p>bump: I also forgot to include that I got 11 on my writing score for my ACT. middle-class asian-american male (that doesn’t help me in any way sadly) </p>

<p>@funklord UCB and UCLA are low reaches .Other ucs are matches</p>

4

<p>@funklord If you are not going for engineering</p>

5

<p>@kigzcorp are the other ucs matches if im still going for engineering? </p>

6

<p>@funklord they will be high matches </p>

7

<p>You have nice test scores and GPA, just a little weaker on the volunteering/EC side, but still good. I would say high match for engineering</p>

<p>The problem here is that though your stats are exceptional, they are very normal for a UC, especially Berkley, LA, SD, and Davis.
Engineering is just going to be really hard to get into, for all of these…
What I’m saying is that you’re not bad, you’re really good, but so are a LOT of others.
Try to make yourself standout, and GOOD LUCK :)</p>

<p>@kigzcorp @thatoneguy24 @imNYUobsessed thanks for the feedback guys! do you think I should take the math 2 and physics subject tests? I am signed up for this saturday but I honestly do not feel like I will score well (didn’t give myself enough time to study) and I was scoring low-mid 500s on practice tests… so that wasn’t looking good. </p>

<p>UCs don’t look at race.</p>
