<p>GPA is the only thing holding you back.
UCLA and UCSD are match.
Kinda reach on the others mainly due to your GPA.</p>

3

<p>ok but should i retake SAT I?</p>

4

<p>It's good enough for UC's (including EECS) and Cal Tech. Higher for Stanford and I'm not too familiar with USC.</p>

5

<p>Nice SAT- I think it is fine.</p>

6

<p>Oh wow, Castel, no.</p>

<p>Berkeley and UCLA stress GPA immensely. Even if you have a great SAT score, it won't make up for a low GPA (as it can at other top universities). Not the best rank, either. So:</p>

<p>Berkeley: big reach [GPA, EECS]
UCLA: reach [GPA]
Caltech: reach [GPA, ECs]
Stanford: big reach [GPA, ECs, lack of focus/passion]
UCSD: slight reach [GPA]
USC: reach to slight reach [GPA -- SAT score will help]</p>

<p>Don't bother retaking the SAT; it won't help much. I'd suggest finding more match schools, like the midtier UCs (UCSB, UCD, UCI). And for safeties, you might look at UCR, UCSC, and UCM.</p>

7

<p>I'm sorry I'm not as experienced as you are :-)</p>

8

<p>'Sfine. You'll grow. =p</p>

9

<p>hmm.. ok so should i try to raise my gpa as much as possible?</p>

<p>will taking summer classes at community colleges help?</p>

10

<p>You can't do much now; your junior year is almost over. CC classes don't help your hs GPA.</p>

11

<p>-_-... cuz i have one more chance to take the SAT and im sure i can get a better score than 2250</p>

12

<p>bump bump bump</p>

13

<p>Caltech/Stanford: Reaches
Cal/UCLA: Slight reaches
SD/USC: Match
Rest: safeties</p>

<p>im assuming ur a cali resident from "CSF" involvement</p>

14

<p>focus on raising your UC GPA, your test scores are great</p>
