<p>Thank you for taking your time to look over my topic, I know it was a bit long, but I just wanted to be thorough.</p>

<p>PS. I like lots of comments and advice</p>

<p>Looks great but you need to raise your SAT1 score. Although you haven't given me your UC GPA, given that its your average sophomore through junior year, it should be between 4.2 and 4.3 assuming those classes were all academic and UC approved for honors credit. Such a GPA is about average or slightly above for UCLA/Berkeley last year. Your SAT 2's are great, and so are your EC's. Write good essays, and get that SAT up to at least 2000 and you should get into all the UC's.</p>

<p>Any other comments or advice?</p>

<p>Oh, and I took Psychology 101 at a local community college</p>

<p>I'm sad...no one is willing to chance me.</p>

<p>Az is correct. Based on your current stats, you are automatic at all but Cal, LA & SD. you will be elc, so that makes Irvine, SB, and Davis a 99% probability assuming your essay is not horrible. Cal, LA and SD will require a better CR score and great essays. Get that CR score up to ~700, and SD becomes a safety, and Cal and LA low matches.</p>

<p>btw: on your app, I'd recommend reporting your Math 2 score (it was Math 2, correct?, since the UCs no longer accept Math 1) and the US History score since it shows strength across different disciplines.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
