Chances for some Cali Schools?!

<p>Hey guys, I've posted before about some Florida schools, but the opportunity to attend school out in Cali has just popped up out of nowhere. I know I'm nowhere near UC status, but I have a hard time believing I'd fit in at most of those places anyways, so it's no problem with me. </p>

<p>Thanks a lot guys!</p>

<p>Come on guys.......bump.</p>

<p>......................</p>

<p>Dude, you are definately UC status, I can see you potentially getting into UCSD, UCI, UCR, UCSB, UCD. Heck I'd even try UCLA. Is there any way you can get SAT scores up? Try to do well on your ACT.</p>

<p>Hey, thanks for the response and kind words. I'm still not convinced I'm UC status but we all know that WE are our toughest critics..... I may apply to UCSB to give it a shot though (that'd be my top choice UC). Who knows what could happen.</p>

<p>As for the SAT, that's unfortunately my best score. On my first sitting, I scored an 1160 and on the second sitting I only jumped up 20 points to an 1180. Now I'm going to try the ACT out.</p>

<p>Since you are out-of-state, the UC's will be definitely harder for you. UCSB might have been a high-match/low reach even if you were in-state.</p>

<p>not sure about the other schools</p>

<p>Anyone wanna help me out? </p>

<p>bump.</p>
