You are a competitive applicant for all the UC’s but still consider UCLA/UCB Reach schools. I am sure you will have several school options in the Spring and hopefully you have at least one safety school on your list. Best of luck.
UCB - reach
UCLA - reach
UCSD - low reach
UCSB - match
UCD - match
UCI - safety
ECs nor awards don’t reflect interest in STEM at all. I honestly think you should apply as a music major. You haven’t taken any AP life science tests like bio or chem. Good luck!
Sorry, but I would not consider UCI a safety school with a 28.8% acceptance rate, but more of a solid Match.
You’re in the 50-50 category for the second tier schools (UCI, UCD, UCSD, UCSB) so the odds that you’ll get into at least one of the Top 6 is decent. Nevertheless it might be a good idea to click UCSC and UCR as a safety just in case.
I think I’d rather just go to community college, save some money, then TAG to Davis ^^’ Thanks for your input though!
If you’re willing to go to CCC, that’s a great safety option.
I just found out that UCs don’t usually look at senior year grades? In that case, my unweighted GPA is a 4.0 and weighted GPA would be a 4.21, does that improve my chances at all?
Senior grades are not considered in UC admission decisions but maintain good grades is essential in keeping your provisional admission.
A 4.21 capped weighted does make you a more competitive applicant but still consider UCB/UCLA Reach schools.
For 12th, you do need to make sure you get Cs and higher, 3.0 weighted GPA minimum still required, (3.0 unweighted for UCB and UCLA). Also, a couple of Cs may cause problems for UCLA and UCB also IIRC. Not maintaining grades upon acceptance is grounds for rescinding.
