<p>I’d say out of those you have the best chance at Cal Poly SLO. I hear Stanford is a crapshoot for just about everybody, Berkeley and LA are looking for higher GPAs. GPAs show good work ethic and what not. But you do have an impressive ACT so that might balance out. But I’d say Stanford is unrealistic, LA and Berkeley are reach, and SLO is a match.</p>

<p>I think Berkeley is a high reach. They really look at academics and scores. I’d say you have a good shot at cal poly and UCLA.</p>
