Reach

A student with an unweighted GPA of 3.0–3.2 and an SAT of 1000–1090 applying to University of California-Santa Barbara is in the Reach range. University of California-Santa Barbara does not look at SAT or ACT scores, so this verdict reads the GPA only. University of California-Santa Barbara admits 44% of applicants.

For this band, the estimate reads the middle of the band, an unweighted GPA of 3.1 (the SAT plays no part here), so a student's own numbers can land differently. It also weighs only the numbers; essays, activities and course rigor count too.
