<p>UC Berkeley UCLA, UCI, UCSD, Harvey Mudd, and Ann Arbor are all within reach. However lack of AP credits may hurt you.</p>

<p>Your math is on track, and you SAT score is definately competative. But without a special talent or playing for Stanford's sports team, I'd give a 25% chance of being accepted.</p>

<p>HoboFred:</p>

<p>UCLA: Match
UCB: Match (for EECS, Slight Reach)
UCSD: Safe Match
UCI: Safety
Harvey Mudd: Safe Match (?)
Michigan: Safe Match</p>
