<p>My parents are divorced-- and I live with my mother who has no income and never went to college. I am also Taiwanese American.</p>

<p>I had no APs, rather I did mainly honor classes that counted as an extra score according to the colleges I looked at
I am in Academic Decathlon, and medaled twice in Division 1 in California, my team did very well.
I have job experience as a lifeguard which I was paid, a tutor center which I was paid, and I was a coordinator for a music festival which I was also paid.
I have over 1300 hours as a volunteer for the city's civic center-- in the city where I reside in
I would love to major in Communications and pursue Law</p>

<p>what are my chances to UCs, specifically</p>

<p>UC Santa Barbara
UC Irvine
UC Davis
UC Riverside
UC San Diego?</p>

<p>Also, how about Northwestern (I have two recommendations from two professors who got their doctorates there).
Purdue University at West LaFayette
University of Washington at Seattle
Boston University
NYU
Univ. Maryland, College Park</p>

<p>Thanks!
Don't worry about the cost, as people were in one of my earlier threads.</p>

<p>UC’s weigh GPA more heavily over test scores and your GPA is on the low side for all the schools listed except UC Riverside. You need to calculate your UC GPA, see link: <a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
You would need at least a UC GPA of 4.0 for UCSB/UCI/UDC/UCSD.
Regarding the other schools, unable to chance you. Hopefully more informed posters could help.
UCR: Match/High Match
UCSB/UCSD/UCD/UCI: Low Reach/Reach
Good Luck</p>
