<p>So I applied to UC’s (and only UC’s) and only got into UCSC out of all the ones I applied to.
My Stats are the following:</p>
<p>SAT: 2300 (800,m 750cr, 750wr)
SAT II: 800mII 690 lit
GPA: 3.2 UW (3.5 UC GPA). (I also have 3’Cs junior year, and lots of B’s - there is a downward trend over the years).</p>
<p>From what I’ve read, and considering that I may not achieve a great GPA at UCSC for whatever reasons, it seems that my prospects for admission to other colleges (and especially to other UC’s) would be better if I applied again regularly, and not as a transfer student (and this is especially the case for other UC’s).</p>
<p>The problem is that my senior grades aren’t actually going to be that great either (I have about a 3.5UC gpa this year, but with 3 more C’s, so they won’t improve my chances). Granted, I will have 5’s on a couple Ap’s (AP calc and chem) by the time I apply next year again (if I do), and also I could perhaps retake my lit satII a long with a chemistry one. And even retake the SAT actually. Also, my essays were completed rather hastily so I could work on those too.</p>
<p>If I did all this, I would hope to be admitted to UC davis/irvine at the very least. What concerns me is that maybe these hopes are irrational. As I already wasn’t admitted to those UC’s, and being that the differences in the applications won’t be * that * different, I am worried about the possibility of not being accepted again. </p>
<p>I don’t know exactly why I’m not completely content with going to UCSC. I think it has at least to do with being on CC. Maybe I should be content, but maybe also that is a hard thing to ask of myself.</p>
