Stanford: Reach
UCB: Low Reach
UCLA: Match

<p>Agree with above posters. Stanford is a reach, because it’s Stanford, but your ECs make you a competitive applicant. I think that UCB and UCLA are matches, and Irvine is your safety (100 percent acceptance chance because of your stats). </p>

<p>Stanford: reach (just because it’s Stanford)
Berkeley: Match
UCLA: Match
UCI: Safety

<p>If your UW GPA was higher than a 4.0, you’d have a very good chance of getting into Stanford. But because it’s Stanford, it’s a high reach. UCLA and Berkeley are low reaches/matches. UCI is definitely a safety. Your ECs, talents, and SAT score are going to help you a lot :)</p>

<p>Chance back for UCD, UCSB, UCSC, and UCSD? I’m a freshman applicant, applied as an English/Sociology major.</p>
