<p>Gonna go with high match for UC berkeley /UCLA and probably low match/safety for the rest of these. I’m not as well acquainted with expectations for in-state students for UCs, but you’ve done very well academically, good ECs, and scores within the range (except for the CR). However, as a URM, first gen, low-income student, you have a VERY good chance in my opinion. </p>

<p>And, to be honest, I think you’d even stand a good chance at one of the up-there private schools if you had better test scores— which might be worth a shot, especially since the UC schools milk you for all you’re worth and you’d probably get very good financial aid at one of those private schools. (If you decide to maybe give this a chance, my advice to get good scores… get the princeton review Cracking the SAT and 11 practice tests. As good as any course and 2% the cost. Finish the guide and do one section or two sections a night. Take a few of the tests full length, testing conditions. This will do wonders.) </p>

<p>Anyway, g’luck whatever you decide to do, and you have great chances at these UC schools.</p>

<p>thanks jssjosh! I appreciate you taking the time to fill out one of these! I was just a little worried about my test scores! Unfortunately its too late to take any more tests… :frowning: I wish I would’ve bought the princeton review and taken the time to try and improve my scores (I’m sure it works because your scores are amazing). Anyways, good luck to you as well! Hope that you get into your #1 choice!</p>
