<p>Hi:) i am going to apply as a first year undergraduate in most cali schools in practically all the UCS except riverside and merced. I am also applying to Chapman, Pepperdine, and USC for privates. </p>

<p>I am Chinese/ female, born in America (if that matters) </p>

<p>and my stats are:
Gpa: 4.02 weighted, 3.67 unweighted
SAT: 1960 ( retook november 2014 so hopefully may be higher>?)
took 8 APs and 4 honors
extracurricular: president of spanish club, piano and flute for 8 years, in clubs like csf and debate club etc., volunteered at a chinese school for 4 consective summer camp programs,
employed as an insurance representative for 2 yrs so far, paid tutor for high school students on spanish</p>

<p>*my intended major is Business economics or Business admin/Accounting </p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: Reach
UCSD/USC: Low Reach
UCD/UCI/UCSB: High Match
UCSC/Chapman/Pepperdine: Match</p>

<p>UC GPA below average for all UC’s except UCSC. SAT score within range for most except, UCSD/UCLA and UCB.
You do realize that only UCB and UCR offer a Business Admin major?</p>

<p>Good Luck.</p>

<p>Also, are you very serious about your faith? Because Pepperdine will want to make sure you’re serious about your beliefs and that they match what they defend. They want students who choose their school for the right reason (spreading the Glory of Christ through their studies and, later, their careers) and not for the wrong reasons (pretty campus by the ocean).</p>

<p>LMU and Chapman are both religious, too, but more as a mission, and you don’t have to be a believer there, unlike at Pepperdine (although LMU is trying to reconnect more strongly to its Catholic identity).</p>

<p>Chapman has NO religious requirements whatsoever. None. There is an Interfaith chapel on campus open to anyone who wants to use it. I would definitely not classify Chapman as a religious school. My son is a junior there, so I’m pretty familiar with the school.</p>

<p>^that’s why I said “as a mission” - religious ethics and values (such as service, etc) are strong, and many studens are believers, but the school doesn’t require anything.</p>
