<p>Its that time of the year, and after submitting UC apps a few days ago and common app in a few days to come, I was wondering how things my chances were looking for the universities I was applying to. </p>
<p>Applying to:</p>

UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC SB
University of the Pacific (but only for their selective dental program)
USC
Cal Poly SLO
And Alllllllll the Ivies (Haha I doubt it but may as well toss it in here)</p>

<p>ECs: Not non existent, but lacking</p>
<p>And I’m majoring in bio. Haha thanks in advance guys!</p>
<p>I’d say your UC reasonable reaches are UCI, UCD and UCSB. With a good essay you will hopefully get into one. Your grades are slightly below their average and your SAT slightly above. Cal Poly is in the same group, so 50/50.</p>
<p>I think you’ll get into UOP.</p>
<p>UCB, UCLA, UCSD, USC I’m not seeing, both grades and scores are too low.</p>
<p>Every ivy? Look at their common data sets. What you’ll see is that they accept precious few with your stats. Those they do have a major hook-recruited football quarterback, son of powerful senator. It would not be worth your time filling out the applications. If you can afford private colleges, choose a few where you have a better chance as UCs could be very, very tough this year.</p>
<p>Everyone here applying to UCs and ivies should review this:
