<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at UCI and UCSD. UCLA puts a huge emphasis on GPA so that might be a reach but with a well rounded application, they might over look it. Keep your GPA up and I think you have good shots at all three of those school. Subject tests and your research experience can also help your application.</p>

<p>Does you school rank? If so what is your class rank?</p>

<p>If your school does not rank what is your decile – i.e. top 10%, top 20%?</p>

<p>Admissions to the lower tier UCs is formula driven. Your guidance counselor may be able to answer your question – in two parts:</p>

<p>(1) Are you assured of a place somewhere in the UC system? Note that the place may be at the lower UCs such as Merced, Riverside and Santa Cruz.</p>

<p>(2) Relative to other students at your high school your chances at the mid-tier UCs such as UCD, UCI and UCSD?</p>

<p>UCLA is very selective. There is no simple way to predict if you (or even top students) would get in.</p>
