What UC's could I have a good shot at?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>2nd Semester junior. 10-12 GPA 4.48 and 4.0 Unweighted 10-12 GPA. This can be raised up to a 4.55 IF I get straight A's this semester.</p>

<p>SAT Score 2250 (740 M, 710 CR, 800 W). Probably going to retake this, but it is what it is for now.</p>

<p>EC: Wrote and filed a patent on something related to social networking, played cricket for 8 years, volunteer at homeless shelter, HS tennis team for every year I've been in high school (my 3rd year on the team right now). Also am on school XC team, and am in Key Club. Also, I am/will/may be working on another patent and a scientific journal paper. I do Model UN also, but I just started it.</p>

<p>Oh, and I'm from California. What UC's would I have a good shot at? And what similar colleges should I target?</p>

<p>SAT Subjects: PLANNING to take Math II, US History, and Physics at the end of this year. I got a 670 on the Ecology subject test (yeah. I know...I actually liked ecology so I decided to try it, but I didn't do nearly as well as I hoped. That percentile rank is the same as a 700 in Molecular biology) and a 740 in WH. I'm hoping to get 740+ in my other 3 subject tests, in which case I don't believe they would consider ecology nearly as much, especially since it isn't even closely related to my planned major.</p>

<p>AP Tests: 5 on the World History one. Taking the ones for computer science and US History this year and Calculus BC, Physics, and Environmental Science next year probably.
On average, I take 3-4 H/AP classes per year in a schedule of 6. My school abolished class rank so I can't list it because I don't know what it is.</p>

<p>Planned major: Computer related-probably computer science or computer programming...</p>

<p>What UC's/similar colleges would I have a shot at? UC Berkeley is close to my house-1 hr away. Any chance I have a shot at that or UCLA (those are my top 2 choices)? And what colleges should I be targeting?
Thanks!</p>

<p>Please let me know if there's anything else I need to put on this post. </p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at UCLA, UCSD.</p>

<p>All of them, just pick the ones you would enjoy going to. You might even have a chance (long shot but still) at Stanford if your interested in it. With a 4.0 UW I’m assuming you’re top 1% of your class. </p>

<p>All of them</p>

<p>You have a good chance at all of them, I would even keep your SAT score, it’s in the top quarter at all UC’s.
Chance back please?</p>

<p>No need to retake; just pick a few campuses.</p>

<p>I think you’re set for Cal; they’re really numbers-based from what I hear! UCLA seems to be more holistic and focuses a bit more on extracurriculars but I think you’re fine for there and UCSD as well–and by extension of that, the rest of the UC’s, since these three are considered the best. I’d just try to make sure you have solid subject test scores to back up your SAT, and you’re good to go. </p>

<p>Best of luck! </p>
