2

<p>Bump! Bump! Bump!</p>

3

<p>come on. ): everyone else is getting chanced. why not me?</p>

4

<p>You'll only get into Irvine, Riverside, and Santa Barbara. Perhaps you could/should try the CSUs or CC and then transfer to a higher-tier UC.</p>

5

<p>You will get in to the two CSU's listed for sure.</p>

6

<p>I think santa barbara would be a good match</p>

7

<p>UC Berkeley= Difficult [I saw a frontline video that shows how UC Berkeley picks applicants and they seem to give students who are disadvantaged financially an extra edge][If thats true then you have a good chance there as well although your scores are lower than their typical applicant pool][If your essays were stellar, I am sure that your odds would significantly increase] The rest of the schools should be fine. </p>

<p>I have the same family background as you ironically :)
