i am looking at ur act score not your sat</p>

4

<p>Do you think that they'll just overlook the SAT score?</p>

5

<p>your EC's are a little weak and do not make you stand out. UCLA and UCB are reaches.</p>

6

<p>^I'd be more worried about the 540 and the 580.</p>

7

<p>SAT I is too low for berkeley...definitely a reach</p>

8

<p>My ACT scores are on par with the averages of Berkeley and over those of LA</p>

<p>Oh, I'm also in ASB/Student Council</p>

<p>How are my ECs weak? I'm a freaking drum major...hahah</p>

9

<p>ehh, I don't think his EC is weak at all. If the band position doesnt say anything, I think Academic Decathlon and and Ju Jitsu definitely help. They may be "outstanding", but they are not weak neither.</p>

<p>MrSpam:</p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCI: Safe Match
UCR: Safety</p>

11

<p>When based by pure numbers:</p>

<p>USC: match
UCB: match
UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match
UCI: safety
UCR: super duper uber safety</p>

<p>I wouldn't be too surprised if you get rejected by one of your "matches" though, because your application (at least what is here) is very typical. Nothing much that stands out.</p>

<p>That's all going by your ACT score.</p>
