<p>UCLA, UCB, and Penn are all reaches. UCLA and UCB will be tougher for you because you are OOS, and Penn is a reach for anyone who isn't a "perfect" student. However, you are already in at Michigan, so I would worry too much. USC is a match, but for most majors Michigan is better.</p>

<p>I have to agree on that UCB and Penn are both reaches. Your test scores are good, but they don't scream out 'perfect'. And u have to give yer weighted GPA for a better evaluation. But if your weighted is still in the 3.7~9, it isnt too good.</p>

<p>and your EC's are far too limited. Do you have any strong positions in any of them? 200+ hours at a hospital is very impressive but I wouldnt expect that this would boost your chances significantly (but it mite if you wrote a strong powerful essay about it).
List your awards and honors as well. Your stats (the ECs) look rather dull.</p>

<p>well the gpa i listed was unweighted and it was not a uc calculated gpa. im not too sure how to calculate it so i didnt bother but my uc gpa is higher because my grades in my sophomore and junior years were better than my freshman year. and my weighted gpa is a 95-96? so im not too sure how to calculate that in the gpa scale.</p>
