Chances of getting into UC/CSU

<p>I have a question that have been in my mind the whole week which was will I be accepted to colleges if I get a “D” in Calculus AB. I have been getting mostly A’s - 27, some B’s - 16, a few C’s - 2 and 1 D (Calc AB). Attend Alhambra High School in CA .
Some of my friends have already gotten accepted to some CSU’s as early as November for Fullerton, and many for other privates, I haven’t gotten any yet. and CSULA never gave me a CIN # so can’t check, been calling them since December of 2011</p>

<p>I want to know what my chances are for:
UC’s

  1. University of Santa Barbara - (likely, maybe, unlikely)
  2. University of San Diego - (likely, maybe, unlikely)
  3. University of Irvine - (likely, maybe, unlikely)
  4. University of Riverside - (likely, maybe, unlikely)</p>

<p>CSU’s</p>

<ol>
<li>California State Polytechnic University, Pomona - (likely, maybe, unlikely)</li>
<li>California State University, Los Angeles - (likely, maybe, unlikely)</li>
<li>California State University, Long Beach - (likely, maybe, unlikely)</li>
<li>California State University, Fullerton - (likely, maybe, unlikely)</li>
</ol>

<p>I know my question is a long one, but I would really appreciate it. Some people have been saying that I shouldn’t worry, but I want a real answer from professionals at this forum</p>

<p>Thank You Very Much</p>

<p>My SAT/ACT scores aren’t high as well.
SAT:
Reading: 490
Math: 570
Writing: 510
SAT Subject:
Biology E: 550
Math 2560
World History: 490
ACT:
English:13
Mathematics:26
Reading:22
Science:19
Combined English/Writing:15
Composite Score: 20</p>

<p>If you could perhaps give your weighted GPA from sophomore year and junior year that would definitely help. This is what I can get from what you gave.</p>

<p>UCSB - unlikely
UCSD - very unlikely
UCI - maybe ish
UCR - maybe
All CSU’s - likely</p>

<p>Again, GPA from 10-11 grade (or your classes and your grades in those classes) will help me (and others) chance you more accurately.</p>

<p>Thank You very much, well for my sophmore and junior years my grades counting AP are:
Sophmore: 3.25
Junior: 3.58</p>

<p>Thank You again, for bringing my spirits up
Anderson</p>

<p>You should be in to most of the CSUs. But I don’t see it happening at UCI or UCSB. You’re pretty much in the same boat as me… similiar culm GPA. Improvements help though I believe. I had a 2.9 first and second sem of sophomore year, but it jumped to a 4.0 and 4.2 I took pretty much all AP/H classes possible… roughly the same SAT/ACT… cept I got a 1710 (r530 w560 m620) and a 26 ACT (w23 r23 s24 m32). </p>

<p>One major factor though: Do you have great to excellent extracurricular?</p>

<ol>
<li>University of Santa Barbara - unlikely</li>
<li>University of San Diego - almost impossible. UCSD is very numbers-oriented.</li>
<li>University of Irvine - unlikely</li>
<li>University of Riverside - maybe</li>
<li>CSUs - likely</li>
</ol>

<p>Um thank you for replying I think my extra curricular are decent to good</p>

<p>Thank You
stong94, and STheart, hopefully I’m hoping I’ll get into the CSU’s, though
I’ll like it if I got into the UC’s as well. Though the chances are pretty low,
Iono if the CSU will look at the extracurricular activites though, I don’t remember
if there was a section for that on the CSUMENTOR site.</p>

<p>Thank You
Anderson</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at irvine. Irvine and Santa Barbra are unlikely. UCSD is very unlikely. All the CSU’s look pretty good except pomona. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1282477-chances-ucsd-any-feedback-appreciated.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1282477-chances-ucsd-any-feedback-appreciated.html&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>Chance me too please :)</p>
