Let me begin by saying a big Thank you to all of the wonderful people here on CC. I am the father of a young lady trying to get into the UC system. My daugther has applied to USSB, UCI, UCSD, UCLA & UCB. SAT's are 620R, 600M and 680W, her act comp was 28, her GPA UW is a 3.7ish, weighted about a 4.1, she has 6 AP courses and many honors courses under her belt. Her EC's are excellent...Student Gov't President, President of local HIV awareness group, over 500 of Comm service, works 2 jobs,( one with a local HIV awareness group, where she speaks at local schools about the program, she spend time in Africa (Ghana) working with afs at an orpanage, numerous other activities and local awards. Dream for her is UCB, but that is a reach. She was rejected yesterday from UCSD and was very upset. My questions is do the UC school really look at someone with strong EC's & essays OOS, or she that hopeless? She been accepted to UMaryland & UWashington (both OOS) so right now UW is probably where she will end up. Do you thing she has a chance at any of the UC's she yet to here from. Thank you inadvance for any imput you guys can give. Any hope with this Holistic approach?
