Rate my chances for UC Irvine Nursing Major.
I have an average GPA of about 3.5 or so. SAT score was also nothing big, just about an 1100 (On the recent scale of course).
I’m overall very average because I did not take everything COMPLETELY serious until my Junior year which I got a weighted 4.0 GPA with my AP classes.

This being said, I have many extracurriculars that make up for it. I’ve been a top leader for a group for four years and participate in many activities in my church. I am a board member of one club, and an active member in two other clubs. Seems like a lot but I am dedicated to all my clubs. I also take a program that focuses on what I will be majoring in and it counts as an A-G course.
I may not have excellent grades but I’ve only ever gotten 1 C in high school, and my grades show improvement within the years, never going down.
I may not have the best GPA or SAT score, but it’s not horrible, and I consider myself to be pretty well rounded. Not to mention other background info like being first in family, first generation, etc.
Thanksssss
