<p>I think you’ve got a great chance at all those schools! If you can get a 32-33 on the act then you’d pretty much be a lock at all the uc’s. however, you’d still have a your work cut out for you as far as Stanford goes…but so does everyone XD.</p>

<p>Of course they do, haha. I meant to remove Stanford from the list because I knew what the responses were going to be like. Thanks! :)</p>

<p>You list your location as Tennessee - are you an out of state applicant for UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA and UC San Diego, and Cal Poly? The UCs will cost ~$50,000/year for an out of state student - that will be very difficult at the income you list. Cal Poly is about $30,000/year for out of state with room and board.</p>

<p>You might want to post on the Financial Aid forum to get some input about the realities of financial aid at California public universities for out of state students.</p>
