Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am a high school Senior in Illinois, who wants to apply to UC-Irvine. UC-Irvine 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? If I do take the ACT again, what score do you think will be good enough to get into the school?</p>

<p>If you were in state I would say you found be fine. However, since you are OOS it is much harder. </p>

<p>Since you’re OOS your chances are less than if you were in state. However, that being said, your record looks good. You seem to have had a rigorous high school curriculum, which goes over very well. Your volunteer work looks good because you’ve been consistent with it for the past two years. Since you’re out of state, though, you’re going to want to raise your ACT score up by at least a couple of points. Right now I’d say UCI is a high match/low reach (only because you’re OOS). If you get your ACT score up to a 28 I’d say it’d be more of a match.</p>
