<p>We need your SAT scores in order to give you an accurate chance, but the other aspects of your application are coming along nicely for the schools you’ve listed.</p>
<p>At many CA high schools 25% of students have 4.0s or above. Without scores, any advice you get here is meaningless. Go to the UC web site to see average GPAs and scores for each school.</p>
<p>You have a really good chance at all of those schools, provided that your test scores are up to standard. Also, the fact that you’re from CA will help with your UC applications. You are, however, an ORM, so your essays and leadership will need to be spectacular. Good luck</p>

<p>Believe me when I say this, the GPA’s at my school are definitely not inflated. Many of the students that transfer to the school that I attend continuously struggle and have difficulties reaching what would be considered normal at my school. Even the teachers comment on how difficult and different our school is in comparison to other California high schools.</p>
<p>Also, I forgot to add that my SAT scores are around ~2,100 right now. I am definitely working on it though. :P</p>
<p>It’s impossible to say with only half of your high school years done – especially when only one year of those two really count. Keep up the good work, though, and I’m sure you’ll be fine! :]</p>
<p>Looking good at UCSD</p>
<p>Get 2200+, and i’m sure you can if you just study hard enough, and you’ll be in at the UCs. though you’ll need to keep your GPA up and hopefully get top 4% of your school for a guarantee.</p>
<p>Rice and vanderbuilt are looking like low reaches right now, maybe you should also consider cornell as well.</p>

<p>If you maintain your GPA and get an SAT score of around 2100, you’re in at LA and Berkeley as well. Getting ELC only helps in admissions for Davis, Irvine, SB, and schools of that caliber. It’s factored into admissions for SD, but the actual school won’t admit you because of it.</p>
