<p>Well, let’s see here. Your GPA probably hits near the 40th percentile for most of your schools, so while you’re not guaranteed admission, you won’t be rejected outright either. Honestly, I would recommend that you spend a good deal of time on your essays and get solid recommendations - they will make or break you. Your lack of EC’s is your weak point, so make sure to distinguish why that is. You’re not a bad applicant, don’t worry. So, here is what I think:</p>

<p>UCI = High Match
UCR = High Match
UCSD = Low Reach
UCLA = High Reach
UCSB = High Match</p>

<p>I wish you the best! Also, please chance me if you have the time, thank you.</p>

<p>UCI: high match
UCR: match
UCSD: reach
UCLA: reach
UCSB: low reach</p>

<p>Your GPA is lower than all the averages of these schools, and the no ECs doesn’t help. Your SAT is also very low, and its very hard to jump ~300 points, but if you can it would help.</p>

<p>Thanks, Bparker253! I totally forgot to mention the low SAT score. I completely agree with you.</p>

<p>To comment on surpriseelephant:
UCs don’t take recommendations, which means the personal statements need to be extra good. Also, you’ve ranked UCR and UCSB the same when they are very different. UCR may be a high match but UCSB is more like a low reach.</p>

<p>@Bparker253 Depends on their starting score… I jumped from ~1400 to ~1800 within a week of studying. Lower their SAT score = Easier to get it up IMO.</p>

<p>You probably won’t get into UCLA or UCSB or USD but maybe UCR and UCI. Try getting a higher SAT score in Dec. As for your Gpa, it’s decent. The E.C might hurt you the most though.</p>
