<p>Affirmative action is banned in California, although UC schools do consider race as a factor in admissions. But race isn't the ONLY factor. I can't say that you being black will help you A LOT.</p>

3

<p>Affirmative Action is not "banned in California". It's banned at the University of California schools. Stanford practices AA, for example.</p>

4

<p>the only advantage of being any type of minority applying to the UC system is for any grant money or scholarship that is specifically for your race. I think the same is true for UNC Chapel Hill. Good luck, hope you get in on your merit!</p>

5

<p>regardless of race, your stats are impressive. You have a good shot.</p>

6

<p>Slight reach.</p>

7

<p>You're a slight/mid reach because you're out-of-state.</p>

8

<p>uhh i dont think so.</p>

<p>your gpa would be way lower since they dont count ninth grade.</p>

<p>your sats are low for out of state</p>

<p>its a reach IMO</p>

9

<p>Not to bring you down but Big reach. UC does not practice affirmative action. </p>

<p>You're not missing out on much, I believe you will probably get into at least Duke and thats a great school.</p>
