<p>Weak GPA, strong SAT scores, average ECs.</p>

<p>Berkeley: reach
UCLA: slight reach - reach
USC: match</p>

<p>It doesn't really matter that your scores are that high -- SAT scores usually can't make up for a mediocre GPA at the top UCs, as GPA is much more important. As such, I'd say you have a shot at them, but unless you have a very good excuse for your grades, it won't look good. The upward trend might help some.</p>

<p>UC Berkeley: Slight Reach-Reach
UCLA: Slight Reach
USC: Match</p>

<p>I agree with kyledavid80. GPA at top UC's is more important than GPA. I think you got a decent shot at UCLA because of your SAT's and you should be in at USC. I think you also got a shot at Berkeley, but it is the least likely of the three. Best of luck!</p>
