Chance me plz! I need some honest opinions (UCs, USC, Brown, CMU, UMich, Boston U etc) [CA resident, 3.93 GPA, 3.95/4.16/4.26 for UC, psychology]

Here are some admit rates for the UC’s. The UC Capped weighted GPA listed is the overall 25-75% percentile for the campus and not specific for the Psychology major. Some campuses do have major specific admit rates and some do not.

2022 Psychology admit rates if available

Campus Psychology
UC Berkeley 4.4% UC Capped GPA 4.15-4.29
UC Davis 37.9% for College of L&S UC Capped GPA 4.03-4.27
UC Irvine 28.6% UC Capped GPA 4.07-4.28
UCLA 10% for College of L&S UC Capped GPA 4.20-4.31
UC Merced 89% UC Capped GPA 3.48-4.08
UC Riverside 48% UC Capped GPA 3.76-4.18
UC San Diego No data but estimated 20-25% UC Capped GPA 4.11-4.29
UC Santa Barbara 27% For College of L&S UC Capped GPA 4.13-4.29
UC Santa Cruz 42% UC Capped GPA 3.86-4.22

I would say UCM, UCR and UCSC are Very Likely/Likely schools
UC Davis would be a Target school
UCSB, UCI and UCSD are High Target/Low Reach schools
UCB and UCLA are Reach schools.

Best of luck and hope you get into Brown ED.
