<p>You're African American, you go to the best high school in the state, you have an upward trend in grades, you have a high ACT, and you have more than enough ECs... Go figure. I bet you'll probably get that 1K scholarship from UCLA too.</p>

3

<p>Safe match at UCI and UCSD.
Match at UCLA and UCB.</p>

4

<p>You have good chances for the top UC's, but the thing I'm not sure about is whether your ec's and your grade trend will be noted by a UC because UC's differ far more than privates. All in all I'd say you are match. Good luck.</p>

5

<p>basically what the first reply said. plus i would suggest reaching higher because i think you would make it at the ivies. just a suggestion.</p>

6

<p>^ i agree.</p>

7

<p>What ivies are do you think would be good for me, keep in mind I'm a CA resident.</p>

8

<p>Berkeley/UCLA: slight reach - high match
UCSD/UCI: safety</p>

9

<p>I think the Ivies are a bit of a stretch because of the GPA/rank, but I agree with Peppers that the test scores and giant leap in grades from 10th to 11th helps you tremendously.</p>

<p>I'm going to disagree with both Peppers and kyledavid80 slightly (and even bartleby) and rate your chances as:</p>

<p>UCB--slight reach
UCLA--match
UCSD--match
All the other UCs--safe match or better.</p>

<p>I'm thinking your So.Cal "connections" are going to help more at UCLA than at UCB.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>

<p>^^ heh, I had considered saying Berkeley's a "slight reach" whereas UCLA is a "match," but I've been jumped by UCLA supporters in the past for saying such. (Regardless, I still consider Berkeley a bit more selective, though not by a large margin.)</p>

11

<p>kyledavid80, </p>

<p>lol, I guess that's one advantage I have from being a UCLA MBA graduate; I don't get any UCLA people telling me that I don't know the school--or it's selectivity ranking and academic competencies.</p>

12

<p>wow, UCLA MBA grad. hope that's mean one day haha.</p>
