<li>I would have more stuff if my school was bigger, definitely, but I go to a small private Christian High School that started less than 7 years ago and currently has only around 310 students IN TOTAL, so will colleges look at that factor as well? I have taken every AP class my school offers!</li>
</ul>

<p>• Also, please rate me on a scale from low/high reach to match to safety for each of the colleges I mentioned.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>You’ll get into most of the UC’s no problem, the only reach(low) would be Berkeley and LA.
USC is a reach because they focus more on standardized tests, and Stanford is a reach for almost anyone.</p>

<p>OK, would it help to state that I am a part of something called the ELC Program for UCs? Also, what safety universities should I look into?</p>

<p>Please help me out everybody! :(</p>

<p>Why are you freaking out… LOL. Just raise your SAT for Berkeley/UCLA. And just apply to lower UCs for safeties.</p>

<p>I think you’re good for most UCs. Berkeley and UCLA will be the only ones that would be reach for you. what’s your intended major?
also what’s your ethnicity? I’m assuming somewhere from southern asia based on the languages that you speak. because that’s also a factor.
Stanford would be very high reach in your current state. definitely retake the SATIIs that you took and study for them and try to do well on the ACT or on your SATI retake. that’s about it though
