Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Im going to be a junior next year. I would be out of state so would you say the chances of me getting into say UC irvine, berkely, ucla, and ucsb are slim? </p>

<p>as a freshman i got a 4.0 UW taking only one weighted class: honors english</p>

<p>soph: took honors chem, honors english, ap stats, honors pre calc, spanish 3, history and gov (required), PE, ceramics.
I slacked off wayyy too much that year, earning a 3.57 UW gpa. UW cumulative gpa: 3.79. ranked between 7-15/315 in my class (we have weighted rankings). </p>

<p>junior year im taking ap chem, ap bio, ap calc 1, ap us history, honors spanish 4, regular english, physics, PE/health. </p>

<p>senior year planning on taking ap english, ap gov, ap euro, ap physics, ap calc 2, honors french 4, ap spanish 5.</p>

<p>ECs: varsity in tennis and earning my letter both freshman and soph year+ making it to districts both years. Jr year i will most likely be #1 in the school with a good shot at making state. </p>

<p>ranked top 80 in the pacific northwest in tennis for juniors under 16s.</p>

<p>in boyscouts, will earn my eagle in less than a year</p>

<p>in national honors society last year and plan to for the rest of HS, </p>

<p>also in spanish honors society, spanish club, international club</p>

<p>community service: 70 hrs in boy scouts, 20 hrs in a bookstore, 30 hrs in a library</p>

<p>hm if i still have a shot at one of the UC schools that i listed above, what should i get on my sats/satIIs? also do i only need to take 2 sat IIs?</p>

<p>Well, getting into UCs from out of state would be somewhat more difficult than "in-staters." To be honest, I'm not sure what your chances look like, bt I'd say that you have a decent chance at UC-Irvine. Right now, UCB and UCLA appear to be reaches. UCSB might be a potential match.</p>

<p>i think you got a good chance at UCs if you get good score on SAT1 and 2s,, well duh,,
but really gotta get high score on sat cuz your gpa is not outstandin,,</p>

<p>meh well thats my unweighted gpa...the 3.79. my weighted is 4.14. and i heard that UC schools have a diff way of calculating gpas. they disregard freshman year, and they weigh 4 semester weighted classes soph year. so my UC gpa is 3.85. Is that any better lol. </p>

<p>oh also i got a 4 on my ap stats test.</p>

<p>what other schools in cali should i apply for that would give me a decent amount of financial aid...dont really want to owe a lot after graduating. and what other schools outside of cali should i consider. thanks for the input.</p>
