<p>The UCs have a locale-guarentee, if you are in the top 4% of your class when you graduate, you are guarenteed admission into the UCs (not one of your choice though). You’ll need to keep your 4.0+ GPA next year in order to get into the top 4%, but even if you don’t get into the top 5% without deviating from your grades too much, I think you’ll get in. SO keep a great GPA, and extra curriculars, get good recommendations and have a slammin essay, I think you can get into all of them.</p>

<p>Stanford will be a reach with you, nothing really stands out. But should you get in, they cover tuition cost for everyone who’;s family makes less than 100 K!</p>

<p>Retake the SAT again or ACT.</p>

<p>Bump =) Thanks for replies</p>
