Have you look at your school’s naviance?

Weighted GPA is your UC GPA? http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

UCLA: Reach
USC/UCSD: Low Reach
UCSB: High Match
Pepperdine/UCI: Match

Three times might be the charm on your test scores to get your High Match/Low Reach schools into match range. Good Luck.

Our School doesn’t offer any kind of college preparatory assistance. It’s basically what you can do on your own. Hence the reason for this post.
