Will i get into UCSC?

<p>SAT : 1440
Reading: 460 / Math: 550 / Writing: 430 </p>

<p>ACT : 20
GPA(unweighted) : 2.9
GPA (weighted): 3.4</p>

<p>I plan to retake it in the fall and I am an incoming Senior. I took 5 IB class in my junior year and will be taking 4 IB classes in my Senior year. Im wondering if im able to get into UC Santa Cruz or maybe other UC like riverside or Irvine?</p>

<p>Your scores and GPA are really low. You need a 3.0 UC GPA to even be eligible for admission to any UC, but even that may not be enough. Try to show your strengths in your ECsand essays, or something else that will make you stand out. And when you retake, really try to get a better score!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You might be able to get into Riverside, but Irvine and Santa Cruz are definitely reaches, it’s possible to get in with a low GPA or tests scores but those people have something to make up for it, hopefully your rigorous courseload of IB classes should pull you through.</p>
