<p>The fact that your test score is good but your GPA is very low will hurt you a lot, particularly in UC schools where GPA is more important than SAT.
All of them are reaches except UCR. They would be matches if you had much better GPAs. Also, UMich, UVa are very likely to reject you because of the GPA. They are very selective on OOS.</p>

<p>A low GPA makes colleges think your lazy.</p>

Northeastern University match
University of Michigan reach
University of Virginia reach
UCSB match
UCI match
UCSD match
UCR safety
UCLA high match
UCD ?</p>

<p>Your UC GPA is usually around 0.2-0.3 above your unweighted GPA. Your SAT/ACT is very competitive but your GPA will hurt your chances as several posters have noted. </p>

<p>UCLA/USC: Low Reach
UCSD: High Match/Low Reach
UCD/UCI/UCSB: High Match/Match
UCR: Low Match
Rest???</p>
