Intended major? HS course rigor? SAT subject test scores?

Under a 4.0 UC GPA will be a tough admit for all but UCSC, UCR and UCM. UC’s tend to very GPA focused even with solid test scores. Make sure you put good effort into your personal insight essays.

2017 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 for capped weighted GPA and not major specific. Competitive majors will have lower admit rates.

UCB: 12.6%
UCLA: 11.7%
UCSD: 38.7%
UCSB: 53.6%
UCD: 56.5%
UCI: 52.1%
UCSC: 75.7%
UCR: 90.1
UCM: 96.1%

It is fine to have some Reach schools on your college list but find a couple of Safety and Match schools first.

Best of luck
