<p>Considering from other chances i've seen, i think most of these schools are reaches. Your GPA(assuming UW) and EC seem to be around the level, of the schools you're applying to. Your SAT2s also seem pretty strong. But that SAT score seems to be too weak for these colleges, especially, that CR score. If you can improve it maybe to a 2000-2100, i think you would have a much better chance at these schools.</p>
<p>Not too sure on other aspects of your application, but i suggest that you consider more safety schools that you would actually want to go to, if you dont get into these schools.</p>
<p>Thats just my take, but I'm also a junior in high school, freaking out over colleges, so this reply might get ripped up by someone later on.</p>
<p>I would have to agree. Unfortunately, you would probably not have a chance at UCLA or Berkeley even if you lived in state, out of state they are way harder. In state kids have 4.2 average GPA and SATs at about 2100. UCSD is not far behind them and even Davis is a big reach.</p>
<p>yeah, just agreeing with other posters, that 3.6 will be your UC gpa since your school doesn't offer advanced classes. Just work on the SAT. If you do well, you should have a good shot at BU and other private universities of that caliber, but UC's are very hard for any OOS</p>
<p>@ swoop-
actually, UCs (UCB and UCLA, namely) weigh heavily on ECs. There has been numerous people w/ 3.8+ (even valedictorian) who basically seemed like the perfect candidate-but they had little/no ECs. </p>
<p>just to put things into perspective..
at UCD- 58.2% acceptance; average WEIGHTED gpa is 3.89
SAT: cr-601 m-637 w-607</p>
<p>UCB&LA will be hard for you. Not only are you OOS but your GPA is a bit lower than the average. So is your SAT score. your ECs are good though</p>
<p>try to consider other schools, like UCR or UCSC</p>
<p>at UCSC, the average WEIGHTED gpa is around 3.6 (what you have) ; acceptance rate around 81.6%</p>
