<p>Work on GPA and SAT and you can get into Berkeley and UCLA.</p>

<p>As of right now, they are all reaches because of your SATs. If you are good at your science and math classes, try to put in the hours for ACT prep, because ACT is more achievement- based, whereas SAT is more logic-based. Also, don’t mention the perfect attendance thing. Stick to a few of your passions, and be the best at them. Colleges like commitment, and you definitely show that with music and leadership. Your ECs are good. Just focus on your SATs/ACT and your GPA. I would also suggest taking SAT subjects in areas that you’re good at</p>

<p>Thanks for answering! Bump</p>

<p>UCLA and UCB should be matches once you raise your SAT score.</p>

<p>Stanford is a reach for everyone.</p>

<p>UC’s like high GPA’s. Stop getting B’s and C’s. Also, there’s no need to list all those EC’s. You can only put like 5 Volunteering things and 5 EC things on the UC apps anyway. As you stand right now…
UCLA - low reach
UC Berkeley - low reach
Stanford - high reach</p>
