<p>The only problem is that your GPA might be too low. So try to score better on the SAT I to balance out the low GPA. You should also take the SAT II Math II.</p>

<p>You sound pretty damn qualified, just raise the GPA a bit and make sure that 1700 goes up too. Good luck!</p>

<p>Alexc,</p>

<p>You must go to Lowell :)</p>

<p>Lowell is a feeder school to UC Davis - and I think the admins are quite aware of the competition there.</p>

<p>Given some of your other characteristics, you will get bonus points, so I think you have a shot.</p>

<p>Is that your weighted GPA? That is the only one that matters.</p>

<p>Your SAT I score could use a boost, so really put the time into practicing over the summer. Get some SAT practice books from the library, and practice the tests.</p>

<p>ha dont worry about it. I just graduated from lowell, and your stats are around some of my friends. I'll assume your weighted gpa is around 3.5? and if you can get your SAT to 1850+ you'll be fine.</p>

<p>for SAT I, all you need is about 1850-1950.</p>
