<p>UC Davis - low reach
UC Irvine - low reach/high match
UC San Diego - reach/low reach
UC Santa Cruz - match
UC Riverside - low match/high safety</p>

<p>note that engineering majors on average have higher gpa and SAT and math & science SAT 2s so choose carefully. also note that Davis/Irvine/SD are universities that are biology heavy (SD is impacted) so chances go down further. your overall gpa is dragging you down, especially your C in algebra 2.</p>

<p>so would I be ok at these schools if I were to major in Psychology for instance?</p>

<p>it wouldn’t get significantly easier, but you could do that. technically, there shouldn’t be a discrimination between majors unless they are engineering/impacted/popular. impacted majors means you either can’t transfer into the major or you can but require excellent grades to do so. you couldn’t or shouldn’t do that for SD.</p>

<p>*you don’t need to do biology to be pre-med; it will simply be easier and streamlined to know the required material if you did.</p>

6

<p>ohh ok thanks a lot.</p>

7

<p>does anyone else have any tips and suggestions for me please?</p>

<p>You should be fine for most of them if you get your SAT a bit up and write a nice essay. ECs are average, if you have any leadership positions that helps a lot. Good luck!</p>
