<p>both gpa and sat are on the low side of the spectrum for mid tier.....</p>

<p>UCSB/UCI/UCD: reach
UCR: match</p>

<p>The SAT and GPA are a bit too low for mid-tier UCs. However, if you get a bit higher SAT, your chances would be better. Write really great essays and you just might get in. Good luck. =)</p>
