Will I get in any decent UC?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm feeling a bit uneasy about my chances going into a decent UC, so I decided to ask you guys :)</p>

<p>Anyways, in my freshman and sophomore year I got a constant 3.6 GPA no honors or any AP classes. </p>

<p>However, in my junior year, I took precalc honors, english honors, AP physics, AP US history, AP psychology, AP statistics, and I received a 3.8 unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>My SATs scores were pretty decent.
SAT I : 2350
SAT II : Biology - 800, Math IIC - 800</p>

<p>I also do a few EC such as playing on the school sports team on football for 2 years, badminton for 3 years, and soccer for 2 years.</p>

<p>So, the question is will I get into Berkeley, UCLA, or UCSD? I know I really messed up in my freshman and my sophomore year, but will most of that reflect upon my impression on the admission officers?</p>

<p>You’re fine. UCs don’t look at freshman grades and they use a formula for acceptance. A 2350 will go far in that formula. Don’t worry about not take AP classes as a sophomore. The UC schools limit the number that go into the formular anyway. Just make sure you take a challenging load this year and write great essays. All else being equal you’ve got a great chance at the UC schools you named.</p>

<p>Master of the understatement. Here is the site for the UCSD formula:
