<p>You'll probably get into UCI. That might actually be a safety for you.</p>

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match - safety
UCI/UCD: safety
USC: match - safe match</p>

<p>You have a good shot at the others. Try to show a passion/focus on your application and you just might get into Stanford.</p>

<p>UCI/UCD/UCSD safety
USC/UCLA/UCB: match</p>

<p>Who's to say that you have no shot at Stanford?</p>

<p>thanks Missy Jo, kyledavid80, and reignfive!</p>

<p>Your stats are competitive, but your EC's / Awards aren't. For example, a published essay? That doesn't mean much. Show leadership.</p>

<p>ELC should mean the guaranteed schools (UCD and UCI?) are safeties.</p>

<p>i agree with kyledavid80</p>
