<p>You need to calculate your UC GPA see link: <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
Based on your posted GPA and Test scores:
UCI/UCD: Match/High Match
UCSD/UCLA: Low Reach
LOR’s not required for UC’s. Focus on your essays which could really help and if you raise that ACT and your UC GPA is 4.0+, they all could be Matches. You should have 1-2 safeties. I would suggest applying to the UCR GAP program since it looks like you met all the requirements. See the link: <a href=“New Students | Apply | Undergraduate Admissions | UC Riverside”>https://vcsaweb.ucr.edu/gap/index.aspx</a>
Good Luck.</p>
<p>Davis - match. You have a good chance.
Irvine - match/slight safety. You should get in, but you never know because of the low acceptance rate. ~35%
San Diego - slight reach.
UCLA- Reach. This is a reach for literally everyone who applies because of the low acceptance rate. You definitely have a chance, especially if you improve the ACT score.</p>
<p>I would try to improve the ACT score - it is better than your SAT. I wouldn’t send the SAT score.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
