Will my GPA ruin me?

<p>It’s alright… not your fault. UCs aren’t too hard to get into, though they are certainly numbers people.</p>

<p>yea i know, i was hoping that my sat scores would raise my chances a little but after seeing some of the sat scores of people on this site it seems like mine aren’t too great…</p>

<p>2100 is okay… it’s just not… a UC-guaranteer. Well. At least not for top-tier UC, though it’d be far more promising if you had a higher GPA.</p>

<p>I don’t know though. I mean. I had a cousin who didn’t do so hot in hs (4.2 WGPA (several Bs), but her APs were 5.0, honors 4.0, reg 4.0) and a 1950 SAT. She had a few strong, local ECs like Varsity Basketball, Editor-in-Chief, nothing too ridiculous. She got in UCB, UCLA, UCSD…</p>

<p>Though that’s definitely not a UC GPA.</p>

<p>yea…my extracurriculars are pretty strong; i play varsity bball and varsity track and field along with some community service outside of school and other stuff so im hoping that will help some…</p>

<p>thanks for your input though…i appreciate it</p>

<p>stephen your gpa was barely higher, and your sat may have been lower.</p>

<p>Update:
I am in-state and I got a 5 on the AP physics B exam too so I think I’m going to drop that class.</p>
