Does UCs look at your 10-11 rank? or 9-11 rank? | |

| cerealbox1: very good chance at Berkeley, how much you study is really up to you, it depends on how good you want your grades to be and what kind of classes you take.
godbreath: 30% chance at Berkeley and UCLA, 50% at UCSD.
sushifureak: 50% chance at Berkeley and UCLA, no it's not safe to call UCSD a safety, you'll probably get into UCI, and UCs don't look at rank, they mostly care about your UCGPA and UW GPA, and a little about "the rigor of your school" which is loosely related to your rank.
hamburgler2: 70% chance for CoE, 85% chance for L&S | |
