Intended major?

@Gumbymom computer science

UCLA/UCB: Low Reach
UCSD/SLO: High Match
UCSB: Match

Bump up your test scores in the 2200 range and the High Match/Low Reach schools would be possible.

Agree with @gumbymom.
What is stopping your to reach top tiered UCs is basically your SAT score (though I am not comfortable with your only “passing” scores for your APs in a holistic review).

7

For reference, UCB’s Fall 2015 enrolled class (CA residents) had SATs (25/75 percentiles) of 1940-2270, and the SAT average for admitted students was 2124. So, OP is just below the admitted CA student average at UCB.

UCLA’s latest (2014) Admitted Student Profile states that the enrolled class had SATs (25/75 percentiles) of 1790-2150, and admitted students had a middle range of 1940-2240. So, OP is probably right around the admitted student average at UCLA.

8

Since CS has a low acceptance rate <17% at UCLA and UCB, OP your stats need to be above the average for the best possible chances.

9

^ Absolutely true.

10

I agree with the other chances, however I think you’re in for Cal Poly. Also apply for Berkeley LnS computer science for optimal chances.

11

@UWfromCA I have a pretty high GPA does that compensate for my ~40 below average SAT score?

12

It should, and your 770 Math score helps, too.
