Hi, I’m a junior, Asian Pakistani girl.
My GPA is a 4.54 (weighted), 4.0 (unweighted), class rank 9 out of 60
My SAT score is in the high 1200’s so 1280-1290.
MY EC’s include
an internship at my local newspaper (regular writer for their fashion column, publications in print)
Vice President of independent, local library club about women in business
Tutor at school for three years
Volunteer at local elementary school for 2 years
active member in Interact club (3 years)

I’m stressing about SAT’s lately since my scores are quite low… do I have any hope?

The UC’s are very GPA focused so your GPA makes you competitive for most of the UC’s. To get into the top UC’s such as UCLA and UCB, your test scores need to be in the 1400+ range. For the other UC’s, I think you have a good chance. Much will depend upon your intended major.

Your acceptance will just not be based on your GPA and Test scores, but your HS course rigor, EC’s and essays.

Freshman admit rate for UC GPA of 4.20 or higher:
UCB: 46%

UCLA: 53%

UCSD: 88%

UCSB: 88%

UCD: 89%

UCI; 97%

UCSC: 95%

UCR: 99%

UCM: 98%

Good Luck.
