<p>Overall you are decent. No for UCLA and Berkeley. Believable at the other California schools. Northwestern and Michigan are both possible, but unlikely: apply anyway.</p>

<p>i didn't feel like reading your whole post, but from what i looked at, you seem to have a good chance at all the schools you listed. you might get in, and you might not.</p>

<p>So is it still possible that I'll be able to get into schools like UCSD or UCLA even with my low gpa? Hopefully I can bring my SAT score up to balance my low gpa!</p>

<p>I feel like you are weighing your GPA incorrectly. You seem to be taking majority of honors/AP classes and yet your unweighted GPA must be much much higher than your weighted GPA because you overall weighted GPA seems strangely low at a 3.72. Post exactly how many honors/AP classes you took each of the years and what you got in them. You are in fact in a very similar situation with me. MY UW GPA is a 3.41 and weighted is a 4.22. I have a 2180 SAT score. Lemme know how your calcing your GPA cuz I want to make sure I am doing mine right as well.</p>
