<p>Great GPA and rank–although your SAT is waay low for your rank (everybody said that my SAT score was low for my rank, I am also val, and I got a 2080)…portrays your school as academically deficient if the valedictorian can barely break 1800 (no offense, just pointing out the facts)</p>

<p>Fairly basic EC’s</p>

<p>That said,</p>

<p>UCSD: high match/low reach mainly due to SAT, get above 2000 and you are in
UCLA: same as UCSD, although you want to get 2050+
UCI: You are in
UCB: same as UCSD, although you want to get 2100+
UCD: Probably in
UCSB: You are in
CalPoly: probably in, although CalPoly generally has ppl with low GPA but high SAT</p>

<p>I am making these judgments believing that you have ELC</p>

<p>Thanks for your honest reply. People keep telling me that I will be fine, but I’m trying to be realistic. I generally hate test taking, especially standardized testing, but hopefully I’ll get a better score by studying. I try harder in school, which is why I’m doing well. There are people who are getting 2100s+ at my school, so I don’t think my school is “academically deficient”, but it’s definitely not up there either. There have also been people in my school who have somehow managed to get into UCLA and UCB with around a 1500 and had a lower GPA, so I’m quite confused.</p>
