Chance me for political science! <3 (meh stats, decent ecs)

Since you are a Junior, you need to wait until end of Junior year to determine your 3 UC GPA’s: Unweighted, Capped weighted and Fully weighted.

UC’s are test blind and will be full pay at $67K/year if accepted.

Here is a chart to determine your overall chances based on the capped weighted UC GPA. The UC’s have capped their OOS enrollment which makes these schools even more competitive.

Campus 4.20+ 3.80-4.19 3.40-3.79 3.00-3.39
Berkeley 30% 11% 2% 1%
Davis 85% 55% 23% 10%
Irvine 60% 31% 14% 1%
Los Angeles 29% 6% 1% 0%
Merced 97% 98% 96% 89%
Riverside 97% 92% 62% 23%
San Diego 72% 25% 2% 0%
Santa Barbara 73% 28% 4% 1%
