<p>Hi, I am just about to start my senior year in high school and would like to get into UCR. My GPA is a 4.0 (my school has no AP classes) and my sat is only a 1590. What are my chances?</p>
<p>your gpa is awesome and sat is average. you shouldn’t be worried.</p>
<p>Good GPA. I’m sure you can get in UCR no worries :)</p>
<p>Well if you have a 4.0 and you are a california resident, arent you guarantee admission to ucr for.being in the top 9% of your.school. iirc ucr is always an elc school so admission is 100%?</p>
<p>I see, thanks for the responses! Also do you think i should retake the sat? because I first took it in my sophomore year with no study, so I can probably score higher now. Also, I only plan on applying to ucr, no other schools matter even if I get in elsewhere.</p>
<p>If time and school pressure isn’t an issue, it definitely wouldn’t hurt to raise your SAT score, but like others have said, your GPA is already stellar.</p>
<p>I want to say UCR is a guaranteed admission, which has been pretty true the past years, but to be absolutely safe, have SOME sort of backup. I actually know people who didn’t make UCR but made higher UC’s such as UCSD or UCLA, so it’s something where you never know.</p>
<p>YOu have nothing to lose by retaking the SAT. I would also apply to a backup. I believe that if you are in the top 9% of our class, you are guaranteed admission to a UC, but if by some remote chance you were denied admission to UCR, then you would be at the mercy of admissions as to where they would re-direct your application.</p>
<p>You don’t need to apply to any other UCs if UCR is your top choice. If you get turned down by Riverside, Merced must offer you acceptance.</p>
<p>honestly your stats look solid, are you involved in any extra curricular activities?</p>
