<p>Can you pay full-freight to an UC? This is basically what the chances assume for the UCs:</p>

<p>UCSD: High match
UCI: Match
UCSB: Match
RPI: High match</p>

<p>Try a test-optional school on top of those…</p>

<p>I applaud you for getting a 4 on the Physics AP test… I hear that is really hard haha.
I would try taking the ACT and seeing if you do better on that, as I know I did.
With your current scores:
UCSD: Low reach
UCI: Match
UCSB: High match
RPI: (Considering you got that huge scholarship already) Match</p>

4

<p>UCSD: Low Reach
UCI, UCSB: High Match
RPI: In because you already got money.</p>
