^ that website doesnt work well. It predicts based on your score range.
I played around with it, it turned out that I had a 100% chance of getting into Harvard with an 1700 SAT score and a 0% chance with a 2100---> just because 2100 is in the rejected Harvard applicant range and 1700 is not

[lisaloverboy]

I am a transfer student from california community college.
Cali resident.
My GPA is 4.0, and I am in Sociology major.
Not many Xtra activities, but I've been working since I entered to the college.

I have one "C" from a non transferrable course. (So it did not actually affect my overall GPA, but it is shown on my official transcript.)
And I don't think my personal statements are good.

What do you think??

[Peppers]

^I recommend http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/ so that they know more about what they're talking about.

^^
UCB/UCLA: Slight reach/reach
UCSD: High match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: Match
UCSC/UCM/UCR: Safe Match

[jhuscla]

hey peppers, can you chance me as well ?

[Peppers]

Thats what the ^^ is for.

[Cali Trumpet]

peppers: For someone who gets a 4.0 in CCC, I woulda thought his chances would have been better. For example, the way people talk about transfering from a CCC, it makes me think he would be a match at UCB and UCLA. And his safe matches would be safeties. I just wondered if maybe you considered something I wasn't thinking about, such as the fact that there are many more applicants this year.

[hockeydemon05]

Peppers didn't chance the Transfer student (lisa-), the ^^ denotes he was replying to jhuscla.
