<p>Your GPA is very impressive, but have you checked to see if those honors classes are actually weighted by the UCs? </p>

<p>I'd say right now:
UC Berkeley: Low Reach
UC Irvine: Match
UC Davis: Match
UCLA: Low Reach
UC Santa Cruz: Match
UCSD: High Match</p>

<p>If you can increase your SAT score by about 100~150 points, then I think Berkeley, LA, and SD are all matches.</p>

4

<p>Berkeley High Reach
LA High Reach
SD Slight Reach
Davis Match
Irvine Match
Santa Cruz Match/Safety</p>

5

<p>Hmm...just saw the one AP course. I'd say that'll hurt your chances quite a bit. </p>

<p>Berkeley: High Reach
LA: High Reach
SD: Slight Reach</p>

6

<p>Only one AP course is not going to look good if your school offers many AP courses.</p>

<p>You have a good GPA ( 4.0 UW Sophomore + Junior year ), so IMO:</p>

<p>Berkeley - Slight Reach (test scores could be higher)
UCLA - Slight Reach (")
UCSD - Match
Irvine/Davis/SB - Safe Match
UCSC - Safety</p>
