<p>Please Chance me for the following schools:</p>
<p>well, I would say that your stats are about what it takes to get into pretty much all CSUs, but the UCs are a stretch. that said, UCR and UCSC are two of the easiest to get into. both of whcih have roughly a 75%+ acceptance rate. I have a friend with similar stats , higher SAT and GPA, but not so many APs, and for both of you I would say in at Fullerton, high reach for the lower UCs like UCR and UCSC</p>
<p>GODDAMN YOU CCERS… WHY THE F____ WOULD CC’ERS IGNORE THE PPL WITH LOWER GPA’S? WHAT THE F______. ARE THEY NOT THAT EXCITING COMPARED TO HARVARD BOUND CC’ERS WITH INCREDIBLE STATS? ARE THEY NOT HUMAN? NONSENNNNNNSSEEEE…</p>
<p>(vent mode off.)</p>
<p>yea, you’re in for the cal state. pretty sure you’ll be in UCR (they have this guaranteed admissions program goin on right now… sign up! i think requirements are 3.6 gpa [not UC gpa, just your ole’gpa in the transcript], more than a 1650 in the SAT? and take two SAT II’s by december…)</p>
<p>can we see more stats? (i.e. the reagular GPA (weighted and unweighted.)</p>
<p>oh. You also have a goood shot with UCSC. make sure you stay strong academically (and mentally ;)) your senior year… then pop the cork when you get accepted to those colleges… :D</p>
<p>I don’t think most people who commented know the UCs very well. Anyways, UCR is honestly a big maybe. A 3.0 is a very poor gpa to be honest. That’s going to hurt you a lot. UCR accepts anyone with over a 3.0, but a base line 3.0 is going to be a little bit tougher. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t see UCSC happening to be honest, because I’ve seen a lot of people with 3.5s and 2000+ SATs get rejected this year. It’s getting pretty tough. UCSC is by far more selective than UCR and people really underestimate it. </p>
<p>I don’t go to UCSC, just personal experience with friends who did apply there this year.</p>
<p>So yeah,
CSU Fullterton - in
UCR - probably in
UCSC - probably not</p>
<p>eh, yep. it just gets frustrating at times…that somebody starts a thread, but simply becomes a “stat”, not a person… :\ lemons can be very sour at times…</p>
<p>novalord: damn! a 2.6? (when i read “3.0 UC gpa”, i automatically assumed you had a 3.5 or so weighted gpa…) :o! (not to be mean or anything.) thank goodness then that the good grades came where it mattered most… :P</p>
<p>i’d say: prepare for a stellar essay or your creation. present yourself as a unique individual, not just another stat. ;)</p>
<p>Have you considered any of the other CSU schools? San Jose State is one of the best, and with your stats you have a good shot at getting in. </p>
<p>Yeah, UCSC has gotten a lot more competitive this year, I think this year’s acceptance rate was 63%… still pretty high, but significantly lower than it was last year. That being said, I’m extremely biased towards it since I’m going to be a freshman there this year.</p>
<p>UCR probably isn’t a bad school, but I’m pretty sure you don’t want to live in Riverside.</p>
