<p>My course load was pretty difficult, but i did not do too well in it. </p>

<p>My goal is to get into a UC, I want to major in Business Administration. I know i don't meet the requirements of top tier UC's but do i stand a chance to get into a UC at all? I would really appreciate your honesty. </p>

<p>I plan to retake the SAT 1
I have only taken the SAT once
I have never taken the SAT 2's
I was pushed into a situation where i only had 3 options to sign up for the SAT test.</p>

<p>Schools i wish to attend
UCI, UCSD, UCR, UCSC, UCSB, UCD, UCM</p>

<p>please chance me.</p>

2

<p>I think you are in at UCR and UCM
But I think for the others you lack the GPA and SAT scores for.</p>

3

<p>Shiomi, if i were to boost my SAT 1 into the 1800’s range
and my SAT 2’s in the 500+ range
and get straight A’s senior year, is UCI a chance?</p>

4

<p>To be honest, you getting 500s in the SAT 2s is really bad…so that may actually be working against you. I have no idea what to say, because I am also in the process of applying to UCs myself and I am by no means a great student. I think you should consider adding some cal states in there like cal poly pomona, slo and various others.</p>

5

<p>Nope. Sorry. UCs don’t consider Senior grades.</p>

6

<p>Have fun at community college, man. Or Merced. :P</p>

<p>But seriously, I’m just being realistic.</p>

7

<p>@Milk - Dude that is kind of harsh. </p>

<p>There are some good cal states that are far better than attending a community college or merced. Seriously look into it. Bump your SATs to the 1800s too if you want to get into like cal poly.</p>

8

<p>No, UCI will be VERY difficult to get into with a weak GPA and SAT II’s in 500 range. (although SAT II’s don’t amount to much for UC’s), even with 1800.</p>

<p>Hey, I go to Brea High school… I went to Elite with Phoebe from Walnut, class of 09’ maybe you know her.</p>

9

<p>so i basically don’t have a chance at any UC.</p>

10

<p>hey, I go to MV, and our counselor told me that UCM and UCR are pretty much accepting ANYONE who applies (within reason). I would say you would be able to get in, but it could be close, since your GPA is low and your SAT score is low also…</p>

<p>I’m in a similar boat as you, and I figure that if I don’t get into the better UCs, then I will settle for one of the “worse” ones, and possibly transfer. But in the end, they’re all good schools if you put the effort into it…</p>
