What colleges did you get into (3.0 - 3.3 GPA)

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi, i'm Ashley. I was just wondering what colleges people have gotten into with a GPA of 3.0-3.3.
I just finished my junior year, in the middle of the semester my weighted GPA was 3.3. I take honors and AP classes every year. So far i've taken: 5 honor classes and 4 AP classes. I've been in speech and debate for 2 years, and will take it my senior year as well.
This coming senior year i will be taking 5 AP classes and ROTC. </p>

<p>I just took the SAT and think I did fairly okay, I plan on taking it again in October and then subject tests in US History, Biology, and Math in November (I'm going to submit these scores as soon as I get them in. I know they'll be coming in quite late.)</p>

<p>I'm taking online classes, just to learn more about things like neuroeconomics and psychology. </p>

<p>I'm not super big on extra curricular things .. like sports (i'm too clumsy for that!)
I've been in an art class since i was in 7th grade, love love love art. </p>

<p>I plan to volunteer at the valley children's hospital this summer as well as next summer. </p>

<p>I want to apply to colleges like: UCI, UCSB, USC, CSULB, and UCSC.
I'm trying to stay in California, I just love it here. </p>

<p>What colleges did you get into with your GPA score and SAT score? </p>

<p>Uhh UC’s kinda expect a weighted GPA* of 4.0+ as well as extracurriculars. Same with USC, although they mainly evaluate unweighted GPA. You might wanna add some more CSU’s…</p>

<p>*UC’s only use grades 10-11 for GPA calculations, limiting extra points to 8 semesters of AP/Honors.</p>

<p>What’s your UC-weighted GPA? That’s what they’ll use for admission. Check back in once you have that and your SAT score. Right now, I’d say that UCSB is a real reach, and UCSC a high match/low reach, but if your weighted GPA is significantly higher and you tested well, that would change.</p>

<p>Unless you have a 2200+ on the SAT to compensate for your GPA, USC is probably gonna be a no. Usually, a candidate doesn’t need that to get into USC, but your GPA is very low for USC.</p>
