<p>Ucsd and ucd are matches
The rest are reaches</p>

<p>You got this dude.
Stanford is always a reach, regardless of the application.
Berkeley would be a low reach or high match; the same with UCLA.
UCSD: Low Match
Davis: Match</p>

<p>Your SAT’s shine above your academics and your extracurriculars will help with the holistic approach the UCs have.</p>

<p>We are applying to all the same schools! <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1573114-chance-me-please.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1573114-chance-me-please.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Stanford: reach

UCLA: low reach
UCSD: match

<p>Stanford: Reach
Berkeley: Low Reach
UCLA: Low Reach
UCSD: Low Match
Davis: Low Match</p>

<p>I think your academic rigor and scores are great overall! But your GPA and lack of ECs is going to hurt when applying to a school like Stanford. I think it may be a little out of your reach unless you have any hooks (in which it changes EVERYTHING haha). But definitely apply to the schools that you want to. Best of luck!</p>
