<p>Hmmm…you’re in a bit of a predicament.</p>

<p>At the higher UCs, you’re at a reach due to junk GPA (no offense, but it’s true for these colleges and CC) and average SAT scores for those institution and, unfortunately, you won’t get the URM bump for the UCs.</p>

<p>Otherwise, I’d say
UCI: Match/In
UCLA: Low reach
UCSC: Match/In
UCB: Midreach
UCSD: Match/In
Pepperdine: In
Stanford: High reach
Fullerton: Can’t say. Don’t know it well enough
USC: Match</p>

<p>Also, I don’t see a passion in your ECs ie: I don’t look at them and say “Oh, here’s a kid interested in X.” It’s up to you to make this shine in your apps. Additionally, retake the SAT/ACT to get your scores up.</p>

<p>UCI: High match
UCLA: Reach
UCSC: High match
UCB: Reach
UCSD: High match
Pepperdine: In
Stanford: High reach
Fullerton: Can’t say. Don’t know it well enough
USC: Match</p>
