UC Round Two!

<p>After getting denied to USC, UCB, and UCLA, I have now applied late to UCSB and UCR. What would my chances have been if I applied on time? Late?</p>

<p>SAT: 1750 (9 essay, 670M, 580CR, 500W) – no one in my class scored above a 2000
SAT II: 670 Math II, 710 Math I, 510 Physics
GPA: 3.92 UW (3.93 UC GPA I think, just 10th and 11th year?)
Rank: top 10%
State:


Idaho

School Type: Small Public (450~500)
Ethnicity: Korean
Gender: M
Extracurriculars: Marching Band (Drum Major of 2), Physics Club (President), Chess Club, Pep Band, Varsity Baseball, Corporate IT Internship, Business Professionals of America (1st place in Nationals), Choir, Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership, Cavalcade USA, National Honor Society, Boys State, FFA</p>

<p>Your SAT score isn’t great, but your SAT II, GPA, and extracurriculars probably make up for that. I’d say that your chances at UCSB and UCR would’ve been really good had you applied on time. Nothing is ever definite, but I think you’d have had a good chance. </p>

<p>I don’t know anything about late applications, though. Sorry.</p>

<p>I didn’t even know you could apply past Nov 30th</p>

<p>Since you are out of state, I’m not sure about UCSB, probably UCR though</p>

<p>UCR and UCM are still accepting people right now. They need to fill up more space. Because you are out of state (and you are late), UCSB might be a hard one…</p>

<p>With an SAT score of 1750 perhaps you shouldn’t have been so confident with where you applied…</p>

<p>i think UCR would take you, but i wouldn’t be so sure about UCSB given that it’s actually quite a popular school and the spaces there are probably limited now</p>

<p>UCSB will be pretty hard, i know alot of people who got rejected with better stats but you will be fine for UCR try UCM too </p>

<p>“SAT: 1750 (9 essay, 670M, 580CR, 500W) – no one in my class scored above a 2000”</p>

<p>dont say “no one in my class scored above a 2000” b/c it says alot about ur GPA then…anyway goodluck did u get into any schools besides UCs</p>

<p>@megathunder: My focus is now on my future and not my past anymore.</p>

<p>@safewayrules: I have absolutely no control over where I’ve gone to school, my scores and academic achievements are well within the top 10% of Idaho. I do not feel satisfied with this and I would like to move to a more competitive environment that Idaho can not provide.</p>

<p>I am just laying it all down on the table, coming from Idaho puts me at an inherent disadvantage of which I am aware, however, I absolutely need a more competitive environment in order to help fulfill my life.</p>

<p>I applied and was accepted to the University of Idaho, but I have no plans to attend there, it just does not fit with my life goals.</p>

<hr>

<p>So it seems the general consensus here is that UCR is a relatively safe match. That eases my mind a little bit.</p>

<p>Try UCSC…</p>

<p>Bhanson</p>

<p>Just realize that UCs are expensive for OOS students and they don’t give much FA…</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Update:</p>

<p>UCSB could not look at my application because they filled up.</p>

<p>I just got denied today from UCR! I don’t know what to do now!</p>

<p>Go to a CC with a transfer policy to the UC system. Check out the UCSB threads where there is a discussion about a back door way into UCSB via the local CC.</p>

<p>Im sorry to be blunt, but did you really think that you could get into Cal or UCLA with your stats? Im almost positive that even an in-stater would not get accepted to those schools with your stats. By the way, the UC’s DO NOT take Math 1 for the SAT II’s. Your SAT scores are really low and your SAT II’s are well below average for Cal.your GPA is also low for Cal. In Fall 2004, Cal only accepted 8% of studrnts with a GPA of 3.70-3.99. Your extracurriculars are not bad, but not great either. I would suggest going to a CC in California and then transfer to a UC.</p>

<p>abmed speaks the truth</p>

<p>however,
ucr and ucsb should be considered ‘good match’ schools</p>

<p>if the standards up from normal deadline, then im not sure.</p>

<p>why didnt you apply to ucsd? it’s the link between the schools who denied you and the ones you applied late to</p>

<p>UCSC is still taking applications. Also, there is a thread under admissions that has a list of the schools with openings. Good luck!</p>
