Just wanted to know what the admissions boards were looking for :) CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL! WE ARE GOING TO COLLEGE!

I had a crappy SAT score: 1780 or something. blah!

Answer 1

Congrats, but the most helpful info other than your GPA would be what you got on the SAT I and II.

Answer 2

Do you think of you will get IB degree? easily, your GPA isn't that undesirable (of direction, you have got achieved extra ideal), and your SAT, in case you have good record of extracurricular events and leaderships, that's lined. UC Irvine is amazingly strict with the numbers, so I won't say impossible, yet may well be very complicated to get in. besides the fact that, all the different UC colleges you listed above are attainable. no longer that they are any worse than UCI, yet they have tendency of giving 2nd opportunities to the scholars. And have faith me, in spite of if statistically, maximum UC scholars have GPA over 4.0. no longer likely. I graduated from u.s. (c/o 04) and that i've got considered extremely some scholars with under 4.0, and that they have been genuine clever. so as long as you're taking finished IB classes, attempt to maintain the place you're status, in case you may no longer strengthen dramatically. If quantative area is your weak point in SAT, as others have reported, attempt ACT. ACT tentatively extra handy quantitative area than SAT. additionally, write a stunning very own assertion. UC admission gadget (selection with the help of each UC college) is 0.5 % with the help of advantage, and the different 0.5 with the help of different non-acadmic stuffs. and private assertion takes a extensive place. in case you will get into UC gadget, with the help of all ability, I discourage you to attend CSU. charm is accessible. you will possibly desire to have a good clarification for it and you will possibly desire to be very persevere on it. I certainly have few friends who have been given into Cal via appealing technique. yet back, i think of your present day status holds of venture to get into few UC gadget with out appealing approaches.
