<p>Your ECs seem solid, and being on the honor roll and in a minority would certainly help, but your SAT score is pretty painful. Which grade are you in? Have you got time to retake it?</p>

<p>Could you chance me? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1228508-chance-me-very-pre-mptively-im-14-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1228508-chance-me-very-pre-mptively-im-14-a.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Stanford and UC Berkley are a major reaches, OF COURSE, but that’s true for literally everyone.
Your SAT score is not painful, it is perfectly reasonable for the rest of the colleges on your list! You are in the Middle 50% for all of them, and it looks as though you are in state as well.
Don’t flip out. You don’t need a 2300 to get into college! a 1960 top ten percent-er will do just fine for many of the colleges on your list.
I hope you have a lot of success this college season!</p>

<p>non-engineering/non-impacted major i assume.</p>

<p>University of Southern California - reach/low reach
Santa Clara University - low match
Stanford - high reach
University of San Diego - low match/high safety
UC Davis - match
UC Berkeley - reach
UC Los Angeles - reach/low reach
UC San Diego - low reach/high match
UC Irvine - low match
Cal Poly SLO - low match/high safety</p>

<p>being top 10% definitely helps you. overall, your list is fine. unless you aren’t telling us something, you shouldn’t be too worried about your list. also, because your UC gpa is greater than your average weighted GPA, i’m going to assume your freshman GPA is somewhat low; this will affect your admission to privates.</p>
