<p>UCSC is a safety with your stats. I suggest applying to UCB, UCLA, UCSD, and one or more of UCD, UCSB, and UCI as well. You can check out the average stats here:</p>

<p>i've already applied. i only did UCLA and UCSC...but i chose the school because of the awesome writing program</p>

<p>I'd be surprise if you don't get in. UCSC's defintiely a Safety for you.</p>
