Chances for UCs? And what should I improve upon?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm currently a junior. I want to know how if I would be competitive at UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara & UC Irvine.
Would Cal, LA and SD be reaches?
Also how competitive would I be at Georgetown & USC? Those have always been two of my dream schools. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.93(UW) & 4.42(W)
UC GPA: 4.36
Rank: 10/255
PSAT: 210/240 (hoping to do about the same on the actual test)
Hooks: Legacy at Berkeley & Irvine</p>

<p>Course load (My school doesn't offer much):
Junior: AP Chem, AP English Language & Composition, Honors Pre-Calculus & Honors Physiology
Senior: AP Biology, AP Calc AB, AP Government & Politics, AP English Literature</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
-High School & Competitive Cheerleading (Captain): I train 15 hours/week year round.
-I started a rather successful business of making and selling bows for cheerleaders, devote about 5 hours/week to making my product.
-10 year Girl Scout and volunteer weeks of my summer's to working at a day camp. (~100 hours/summer)
-Editor of my school newspaper (~5 hours/week)
-3 year CSF member</p>

<p>Thank you so much for taking the time to chance me. I will chance back! :)</p>

<p>UCs don’t care about legacies.</p>

<p>doesn’t really help me much, but thanks anyways.</p>

<p>We need your SAT score to chance you (especially for UCs), but the GPA and ECs look good. The bow-making business looks interesting.</p>

<p>Based solely on what you’ve given, Berkeley and UCLA are reaches, and the rest are attainable, but it depends on your SAT/ACT scores</p>

<p>As others have mentioned, the UCs don’t consider legacy.</p>

<p>GT- low reach
Cal, LA, USC - high matches if you get 2100 SAT. With good enough essays, all are very attainable. I personally would be surprised if you didn’t get into any.
SD - match
SB, Irvine - They would have been safeties a few years ago, but given the UCLA mentality they have developed, they are low matches rather than safeties.</p>
