I got waitlisted to UC Davis: 4.08 UC GPA, 1490 highest SAT score, did volunteering at hospital and clubs, had few leadership in clubs (peer tutoring club, scioly), did swim, and did lots of tutoring and got paid. Also ChemE major.
I actually thought I had a good chance of getting into Davis, but I got waitlisted then rejected sadly.
Davis is a good school, and lot of my friends with both higher and lower stats got in.
What major are you?
I would aim for atleast 4.1/2+ and 1400+ for good chance, higher for engineering. Make sure you have solid EC’s and essays though, and honestly, volunteering isn’t super important, but have some, so you don’t seem lazy.
Anyways, with those stats I also got into UCR w/chancellors, UCSC, UCI w/CHP, UCSB/early accept, UCSD (for alt.major), and Cal, all for engineering except San Diego.
Best of luck
