<p>For Caltech I would honestly have to say that he doesn't stand a good chance at all. If he manages to pull the SAT score over 2300 then he might stand a decent chance. And I'm sorry but if those are the only EC's he has, that won't help either.
I have a friend that will go to Caltech next year and all of his scores are substantially higher. The Math IIC score would also have to be right around, if not exactly 800 to stand a chance. This would also apply for UCB.</p>

<p>Either way good luck to him.</p>
