<p>Match at all the UCs. You don't need to take the SAT again. But you are SATII scores are somewhat below average for both UCLA/Berkeley. Maybe take those again?</p>

Any athletics? It would show balance.
Chance back?</p>

And btw..what ballpark percentages does each prediction represent? Like is a reach 20-30 percent?</p>
