<p>yea i know it's pretty miserable but do i have any chance at these schools:
UCLA
UCB
UCSD
UCI</p>

<p>one more thing i had a horrible teacher for pre calculus and all of first semester it was a student teacher but the real teacher gave difficult tests. i'm not the best test taker in the world which led to me not doing so well. it was also harder than it should have been. the entire second semester consisted of calc ab material. i've also had horrible spanish teachers both years and got C's bothsemesters sophomore year then B's both semesters junior year.how can i explain difficult classes, trying to improve, and upward trends? if anyone has a sample essay related to these topics please let me know!</p>

<p>did you take the sat 2's?</p>

<p>your satI is on par with just about all of the top uc's, however your ucgpa of 3.3 is really too low for any of the top uc's and some of the middle tier uc's.</p>

<p>you have a shot at UCI, but you should really apply to ucd, ucsb, ucsc and maybe riverside as well, just in case.</p>

<p>no i haven't taken SAT II's yet but i am studying for physics and math IIc</p>
