<p>You can apply but your chances look really, really bad. You barely scrap any A’s, your SAT is pretty low, and the fact that you admit that you’re only top 15% at a bottom public school indicate that you’re not really UCLA (or Berkeley for the matter) material. </p>

<p>Holistic admissions definitely does not extend to students with such a low class standing. Even if UCLA or Berkeley choose to toss you a bone and compare your stats to other students from your school, it will not come out favorably for you. 97% of UCLA students are top 10% of their class.</p>

<p>UCs UCSD and below are very stats driven so you’re definitely not going to make UCSD and Irvine, Davis, and Santa Barbara will be reaches.</p>

<p>I meant my school is in the top 5% not bottom. I have a really competitive class(probably best in the school’s history) that’s why my rank is low.</p>

<p>Sorry, I was confused because you said you were low income.</p>
