Chance Me / Match Me

<p>Hi, I was just wondering for my chances at UC Berkeley, UC San diego, UC Davis, Santa Clara, NYU, Boston University, Tulane
I plan on majoring in either economics or international relations for these schools.</p>

<p>I got a 3.435 unweighted GPA, 3.69 weighted ( cumulative ) don’t know about senior year yet. (private school weighted)</p>

<p>Sophomore and junior ( UC GPA) 3.785 weighted capped 3.93 weighted uncapped
SAT1
780 CR
800 Math
760 Writing
Overall: 2340
SAT 2
World History: 770
US History: 780
I plan on taking math and English this fall</p>

<p>I come from a very competitive high school. I’m probably around 30th percentile in my school. </p>

<p>My point is… does my high SAT score help balance out my faulty GPAs in anyway?
Thanks guys</p>

<p>Hey, I am not really an expert with this. But just for some advice: </p>

<p>A kid I know really slacked off his freshman and sophomore year. He picked it up his junior and senior year and his GPA was about a 3.7 (weighted). He ended up getting in the 2200s on his SAT, and he was accepted into NYU. He will be a sophomore at NYU this fall.</p>

<p>So I don’t know about the other schools, but I know he got into NYU and he was in a similar situation.</p>

<p>What was his major? Cuz i heard the major matters…like in general its easier to apply as an philosophy major than an biochemical major or a electrical engineering major</p>

5

<p>Not 100% sure, but I think Chemistry.</p>
