Chances for UC's? Low GPA, good SAT & EC's

I disagree somewhat with the previous poster. I think that you have a good shot at all but UCB, UCLA, and UCSD, which I feel are reaches. Your SATs are very competitive, your ECs are solid, and your GPA, while not stellar, is certainly not awful. Your ethnicity, however, may hurt you, and you will have to develop a compelling essay explaining whatever family problems you had. It might be useful to calculate your UC GPA and compare that to the averages.

Chance me back please! :slight_smile:
