<p>Do you live in California? If yes, then I think you’d get into both, especially UCSC. If you’re out of state, I still think you’d have a good shot, but you’d be at a slight disadvantage.
In-state or out-of-state, though, you’ve still got a decent chance. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>VERY GOOD ecs. You would be match for UCD/UCI and might even have a shot at UCLA.</p>

4

<p>While I think your gpa/sat are too low for UCLA, never hurts to apply. And you’re in at UCSC, very strong chance if not in at UCSB.</p>

5

<p>If you’re in-state, yes to both. If you’re out-of-state, it’s doubtful. </p>

<p>Awesome ECs, though.</p>

<p>in state, Southern California resident!</p>

<p>i am mostly worried about my SAT scores. How high do i need to aim to feel more secure? Obviously as high as possible, but what’s a solid score for a good UC right now?</p>

7

<p>I had a 3.73 and 1940 SAT and a bit more ECs that you and was waitlisted at UCSB and later admitted (and attending!) so you have a good chance but i def wouldnt say in for sure. But SC is an in! </p>

<p>GOOD LUCK. the process sucks but the end results are all worth it!</p>
