As a non-resident, what are my chances of admission into UC Irvine?
Favorite Answer
Some colleges limit the number of non-residents they admit. Check with UC Irvine to see if they have a limit. Most times, a student’s academic performance will determine their admission and not their residency status.
It sounds like you’re on your way to being a good candidate for college with all your academic accomplishments as well as your extra-curricular activities. Keep up the great work!

With all the extracurriculars you mentioned and if you can really get those straight As, I think you will have an easy time getting accepted. One of the major things the UCs look for is your personal essay. You have to write a killer essay. But since you’re a junior, you don’t have to worry about that just yet.
Also, try getting a decent SAT score, an 1800+ will do, but if you really want a guaranteed admission, shoot for a 2000.
A 3.5 weighted GPA is all right, not to specatacular. You must’ve gotten plenty of B’s and a few C’s (i’m guessing). But don’t worry, if you can get high As next year, it will more than make up for that GPA (with all the AP and honors classes).
Just keep trying hard and maintain your academics and extracurriculars. I think you’ll have a great shot at the admissions
