<p>Because of the SAT score, LA and SD are definitely reaches. Davis and SB are matches. UCSC, UCR, and UCI are safeties. You have strong EC’s but you need to improve that SAT score. Chance back? </p>

<p>UCLA: low reach/reach
UC San Diego: match/high match
UC Davis: match
UC Santa Barbara: match
UC Irvine: match
UC Santa Cruz/UC Riverside: low match
you should be good at UCI. You also have good chances at UCSD, unless you go for a very competitive bio major or engineering major</p>
