<p>Google “{Name of School} Freshman Profile” and you’ll get all the information you need.</p>

<p>Your SATs are strong, (close to over above the 75th%-tile in most cases), but your UW GPA is on the low end for all the schools your asking about.</p>

<p>UCBerkeley: SAT 55th%-tile, Avg. UCB Admitted GPA: 3.93; 24.7% Calif Admit rate - Reach
UCLA: SATs ~65%-tile; Avg Admit UW GPA 3.86; 21.8% Calif admit rate - Reach
UCD: SAT >75th%-tile; 25th%-tile W GPA = 3.85; Reach/Match because of nearly 50% admit rate
UCSD: SAT >75th%-tile; avg W GPA 3.95 (old data but useful) - Reach maybe High Match
BC: SAT >75th%-tile; UW GPA not listed but estimated to be around 3.6-3.7, Reach- High Match
USC: SAT 70th%-tile, UW GPA 3.8 - Reach</p>

<p>Your GPA is what’s hurting you. What is your sophomore+junior year GPA? If you can get ad comms to concentrate of that number (the one without the “D”), then I think your chances improve dramatically.</p>
