I really want to attend a UC school but am undecided on a major. I wanted to do something like astronomy or something involving history.
My senior year im taking ap statistics ap environmental science ap psychology ap literature and composition ap United States government and politcs economics honors. And visual imagery. Im first in my family to go to college. Hispanic male with a household with a decent income. </p>
<p>Sorry for the long post</p>
<p>what’s your gpa (weighted and unweighted) and extracurricular activities</p>
<p>UC school tend to take in state residents over out of state residents so that’ll help you some. I don’t think being an Under Represented Minority will help you because I believe that CA banned affirmative action in their admission process (so everyone is treated the same). </p>
<p>You need to increase that SAT score by at least 400 points to be considered for admission. You really received a 1500? That’s not competitive for UC’s. Too many b grades noted. URM Isn’t considered at the UC’s because they don’t do affirmative action.</p>
<p>Calculate your UC GPA, see link: <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
You will need to increase your SAT to be competitive for most of the UC’s. First generation will help. Hispanic in California not a URM and not considered by admissions. Other than UCM/UCR/UCSC, average UC GPA was 4.0+. Check the UC Application site which gives the averages for the in-coming Freshman class to see how you compare. </p>
