Chances for UCs? Please help!

<p>Name: Allan
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Filipino</p>

<p>I recently moved to California from the island of Guam (US Territory) not more than 4 months ago to achieve US residency for college. I was really into my class and school government being a part of the school senate since Freshman year. I've chaired many advertising campaigns for the C/O 2008 and many other activities. I was also into my honor societies, National Honor Society and Principal's Leadership Society, both of which is NOT offered at my current school here in San Diego. I was elected Vice President of my school's NHS in Guam, but I was forced to reject the election because I was relocating. I'm taking the SAT Reasoning and ACT this December and I've already taken the SAT Subjects at the beginning of November.
I don't think I did so well on any of the subjects I had taken (Math Lvl 2, Literature, and US History).</p>

<p>Please help me. =]</p>

<p>For the top UCs, your GPA is slightly weak. You have great ECs, though your honors/awards seem a little weak. Are you sure you have US residency status? Also, I don't think you're considered a California resident if you've only been in CA for four months.</p>

<p>University</a> of California - Admissions</p>

<p>As a result, getting in will be more difficult. Assuming that you have at least some form of US residency status:</p>

<p>Berkeley: reach
UCLA: slight reach
UCSD: high match
UCI/UCD/UCSB: match
UCM: safe match - safety</p>

<p>You have a good shot at the others.</p>

<p>thanks alot ^^</p>

<p>depends on your SAT score, u might have a good shot at Harvard</p>
