Chances at UCs?

<p>My cousin didn't get into any UCs at all last year, and even though her stats are way lower than mine, my mom is freaking out and insisting that I apply to as many UCs as possible this year. I'm really only interested four, maybe five campuses. I don't want to waste any unnecessary money on apps when I know for sure that I won't want to attend certain campuses even if I do get in, so it would be really helpful if I could get some feedback about my chances at getting into my campuses of choice so I can try to convince my mom that everything will be okay.</p>

<p>My ECs aren't very spectacular.. I was president of two clubs in my junior year (leadership positions in both since sophomore year) - a culture club and a very active community service club. I'm still president of the community service club this year. </p>

<p>I started working as an English tutor to young children last May and I work about 10-12 hours a week.</p>

<p>I have been in CSF since 10th grade and will most likely get life membership when I graduate.</p>

<p>I'm interested in UCLA, UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCSB, and maybe UCSC too. I'm especially interested in UCLA and UCSD (yay, sunny socal weather!) - what are my chances of getting into either school? I want to major in History or Political Science, if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>Sorry for the long post. Thanks in advance for any advice!</p>

<p>UCLA--Slight Reach to Reach
UCSD--Match to Slight Reach
UCI/UCSB/UCD--Match
UCSC--Safe Match</p>

<p>Tell your mom to relax. As a History or Political Science major you will probably get into UCSD, and if not, there will probably be at least four other UCs to choose from.</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB Reach
UCSD Match
UCI/UCD Safe</p>
