<p>UCB is a low low reach
UCLA a near match and
UCSD is probably gonna be your best bet in terms of getting into a UC in my opinion </p>

<p>All this said you should probably get into UCSD, probably get into UCLA, and might get into UCB. Think about UCSB or UCD as fallbacks (maybe even UCSC...which is 100% in for you)</p>

<p>You're right at the GPA mean for UCB and UCLA, and slightly above the SAT mean for Math/Verbal.</p>

<p>50-60% for each. </p>

<p>UCSD uses a strict formula. Go to their website to see how much it is weighted toward disadvantaged backgrounds. Score yourself there and you'll have a better idea. Then make sure your application (essays especially) have portions that would cause the reader to give you the extra points in those disadvantaged areas (truthfully, of course).</p>

<p>Thanks for the input so far. I'm applying to Davis too, but I didn't put it up here because I'm guaranteed admission due to ELC.</p>

6

<p>Your act is a lot better than the SAT score so send that</p>

7

<p>Yea but I have to send my SAT scores because they get sent when I send SAT II Scores. And from what I gather UC's only use whichever you got higher on using their scale in the ACT/SAT for admission criteria.</p>

<p>Hi,
UCB is a low reach
UCLA- low reach/ good match
UCSD- good match</p>

<p>You should probably get into your first choice (UCLA) but it will depend on how good your essays are.
Good luck :D</p>
