Will i get into any UC schools????

Applying to College
1

<p>I just wanted to know my chances of getting into a UC school such as Davis or Irvine, maybe even UCLA or USC. I'm going to list everything from my school, grades, and extra curricular activities. Since I am out of state do I have a better chance if I were to pay the full cost of tuition? Also, my GPA is 3.5 but I have a 2000+ on my SATs will that effect me in anyway? I'm currently a Junior and i still have not factored in my second semester grades into my total GPA. I'm also wondering if i should take physics along with Ap anatomy and physiology, I want to be a pharmacists so physics does not really play a roll in that. Should I take it and risk the lower grade or just take human AP??? </p>

<p>(1) USC is not a UC school; it is a private college. (2) For the $50K plus it costs to attend a large CA public, you could attend a private with much smaller classes, more personal attention, etc.</p>

<p>I think you have a good a shot as anyone else! Start on those essays early because those are the things that will truly set you apart !!</p>

<p>Private research universities have big classes also; you’d have to go with LAC type of schools (either public or private) to find small classes at the lower division level.</p>

<p>Also, at any selective school, biology and chemistry courses will be among the larger ones, due to all of the pre-med/dental/vet/pharm/etc. students who need to take them.</p>

<p>Forgot to add that I have played freshman JV soccer, and my junior year was on varsity cross country and varsity track currently.</p>
