First of all GPA and SAT’s aren’t everything. What percentage are you overall in regards to your graduating class. If top 3%, you’re guarenteed 2 spots in any UC.

Factors to take into consideration for college admission:

1.) Courses taken, fulfilled A-G reqs?

2.) GPA, did you make UCI average?

3.) SAT/ACT, did you make UCI average?

4.) PESONAL ESSAYS ARE A HUGE FACTOR!!!!

5.) Extracurricular, are you more than a student? Was there any empty space on that UC application?

I had horrible SAT’s (400 points lower than average of entering Freshmen previously). SAT’s aren’t everything and when one defines themselves with those points, they’ll never make friends in college.
