<p>UCLA: Reach
UCSD: High Match
USC: High Match/Match (w/legacy?)
UCD: Match
UCB: Reach
Georgetown: High Reach
Cal Poly: Target
UPenn: Reach/High Reach</p>

<p>EC's are kind of weak. I think you might want to add a safety or one more match school. Have you considered UCI?
Your chances for schools like UCB/UCLA/Georgetown/UPenn can be raised with a good showing at the next SAT.</p>

<p>Based on what I've seen from my school, other schools in the area, and here on CC:</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
USC: Reach
UCD: Match
UCB: Reach
Georgetown: Reach
Cal Poly: Match/Safety
UPenn: Reach</p>

<p>(You lack ECs and awards, and your GPA hurts you because the UCs are number-driven schools.)</p>
