Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am a high school Senior in Illinois, who wants to apply to UC-Davis. UC-Davis is hard for any out-of-state student to get accepted so before I start my application and invest my time, I would like to know what my chances are. Please look at the following:</p>

<p>ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION:
GPA (Weighted): 4.76 out of 5
Credits: 21.5
Number of AP classes (including Senior year): 10
Number of Honors classes (Only up to Junior year): 5
AP Test scores: Nothing lower than a 3
Growth during High School:
-Freshman Year: no Honors or AP classes
-Sophomore Year: 2 AP and 2 Honors
-Junior Year: 3 AP, 3 Honors
-Senior Year: 5 AP classes
ACT Score: 25 (I plan on taking it again in December) </p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1. Congressional Debate (9-12)
-Leadership: Foreign Affairs Research Chair (10 and 11), Research Captain (12)
2. Speech Team (9-12)
3. National Honor Society (10-12)
-Leadership: Historian (12) and Executive board Member (12)
4. Took Chemistry 121 at a local community college (got a B)
5. Internship in a research facility (4-weeks)
6. Volunteer as a tutor to children who can't afford proper schooling or tuition. Did this through a webcam.(started in 10th grade and I am still doing it every Sunday)
7. Worked as financial helper/Organizer to a local company (started in 11th and I am still doing it)</p>

<p>I know it's kind of late in the application process but do you think it's really necessary for to take ACT again? And do you think I have a decent chance?</p>

<p>I wonder what your capped UC GPA is, since it’s something UCD relies upon. Take your eight best AP or honors courses and add an extra point grade.</p>

<p>It’s another classic case of “high GPA, low ACT” so I have to say high match (unless you can afford full freight by external means)</p>

<p>I would recommend taking the ACT again in December for a 26+. You have a good chance of getting in. make sure to write fantastic essays.</p>

<p>A 27+ would turn it into a low match if you have good essays.</p>

<p>@Catria, yeah, I’m a bit disappointed in myself for getting a low ACT score and putting it off until now. I will definitely talk it again, now. I had a feeling that I might have to. 27+? I’ll get it! I have also started my essays already and I am making great progress with the quality! Thank you!</p>
