<p>Hmm, the GPA is very good, regardless of how competitive the school is. The Sat I score is around 30-50 points below average for Cal and UCLA, however, the difference is very minimal. </p>

<p>The SAT II scores are fairly weak, I suggest your friend raise his/her sat II scores if he/she can. </p>

<p>The senior course load looks very rigorous…</p>

<p>Cal - low match
UCLA - low match
UCSD - high match
UCD - safety
UCI - safety
USC - match</p>

<p>Berkeley - likely to be in, if you raise your SAT’s
UCLA - likely to be in
UCSD - really likely to be in
UC Davis - in
UC Irvine - in
USC - really likely to be in
Santa Clara - definitely in</p>

<p>it wouldn’t hurt to apply to stanford you know..</p>

<p>I’d say Berkeley and UCLA are high matches, the other ones are matches.</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies! :slight_smile: My friend plans to re-take the SAT/SATII’s, so hopefully she can increase her chances by raising her scores.</p>

<p>Oh, I forgot to add that she got a 28 on the ACT, but I think that’s about equivalent to her SAT score…</p>

<p>Youre in everywhere with a GPA like that. UCs dont care about slightly low SAT scores. Last year people with 1700s were getting into UCSD and people with 1900s were getting into UCB.</p>
