<p>Im a sophmore I will be a junior next year. I really want to go to uc davis but I dont know if I am good enough. Right now my GPA is a 3.4 and i plan on making it higher next year and plan on haing a 3.6 my senior year. As a freshman I did not take getting good grades in highschool to seriously and easily got a 2.8 withought trying. I haint taken the ACT yet but on my plan they estimated on the ACT i would have gotten a 24. But I am taking a act prep class this summer and i got 3 of the best ACT books i can find which im sure will help to improve my score and i know i wil atleast get a 26 but planning for a 30. I am trying to get into AP english I wont know untill closer to the end of this marking period. But if i do not get into any AP classes my Junior year i will defitley be taking two my senior year for sure. So far I have 42 volunteer hours, no sports, I am in drama club, and I was in the play The Odyssey. Next year I will be doing tenis, Drama club, probably a school play or two, and art club. Also this summer I will be working at DQ and probably doing more volunteer hours.
I know this is long but its super important to me! I will be crushed if I dont get into UC Davis!!!! So so far with my current gpa and acheiement does it sound like i have a good chance? And if iI score a 30 on the act and get a 3.6 GPA do you think that would be good enough? Also I am out of state how much does that affect my chances?
Any tips for getting into this college would great!! Thank you!</p>
<p>UC Davis does not take into account your freshman year. You’ll want an ACT of about 30 or 31 to have a shot, but higher is always better</p>
<p>mm I got accepted into UCD college of agriculture and environmental sciences as undeclared for fall 2013. I’m a Cali resident though, so it may be different</p>
<p>idk how you’d have to do on the ACT because i took the SAT, but in case you’re curious…</p>
<p>UC GPA: 3.86 (UCs i guess calculate their gpa differently)
SAT: 2030
SAT II math level 2: 630
SAT II US Hist: 670
SAT II Korean: 770</p>
<p>I took a total of 5 AP classes (ap environ sci, apush, ap psych, ap calc ab, ap microecon) in high school.</p>
<p>I was on jv swim for one year, was treasurer for LEO club (as well as a founding member for the club), was on polynesian dance club, and volunteered at church with elementary.
Honestly, I feel like all the extracurricular activities won’t help you much with UCs because they tend to focus less on ECs than private colleges do. </p>
<p>You might want to take note that my gpa was actually not on the high end for UC Davis either… I believe I’m around the average</p>
<p>here’s some 2010 stats (scroll all the way to the bottom to see for fall 2010)
<a href=“Institutional Research and Academic Planning | UCOP”>Institutional Research and Academic Planning | UCOP;
<p>apparently % of students admitted fell from 44.5% (fall 2012) to 39.4% (fall 2013)

<p>helpful link (gives admission stats for fall 2012), but since you’re not taking the SAT it might be somewhat useless too! haha goodluck!</p>
