Sorry, forgot to mention that I’m applying in-state

I think you have great chances but try improving your unweighted/weighted gpa because there are people with higher gpa and that is pulling you back.

Thanks for the reply - Can’t really boost my GPA anymore

5

With a 3.9 GPA, you’ll be a reach at all those schools especially UCSD. But you should get into UCSC easily, if you applied there.

6

Thanks goldenbear2020. UCSB has a very strong physics program which I’m interested in, any advice for boosting my chances for that particular school?

7

You have a strong shot at all of these schools.

8

Is 3.9 your UC GPA (capped weighted)? What is your SLO GPA since they 9th grades in their GPA calculation?

Not sure about my SLO GPA , don’t have my transcript with me ATM.
Yes, 3.6UW 3.9W UC GPA. Out of the 4 semesters, 3 of them were pretty much all As with a B or two
However, second semester sophomore year, I was admitted into the hospital for a few weeks and my health greatly suffered, so my performance in school went down as I was focused on my health, IDK if I can write that in my personal statement.
