<p>UCI: High Match
UCSD: Reach
UCSB: High Match
UCLA: Reach</p>

<p>Your SAT/ACT is really killing you… and some adcoms might wonder with those low scores and 4.0+ WGPA that your school has grade inflation, etc.</p>

<p>i know my scores are really bad, its cuz i lagged taking both until december hahah…but yeah…and no my schools API is like 830, its a really competitive school so thats all good …thank you :)</p>

<p>i think beside the sat score, you have a pretty good chance of getting inm</p>

<p>UCI match
UCSD high match

<p>UCI: match
UCSD: high match
UCSB: high match
UCLA: low reach</p>

<p>You need to improve your test scores to have better chances. Although i think youll be fine for UCI. The Presidential Election thing is cool though, colleges will love that! Use it to your advantage :)</p>

<p>Low SAT but good GPA. grade inflation? just try to bring it up to 2000+ and you’ll be in good shape for all these schools, with the exception of UCLA for which you need maybe a ~2150. I don’t know much about chancing, sorry :P</p>

<p>guys…im a senior. i have already taken the SAT lmao…there is no way i can retake it, thank you for your concern, but thats not gnna happen! ;)</p>

<p>Your EC’s look impressive, but like everyone else says, your test scores might be detrimental. If your school is on the semester system, 12 semesters + of AP classes is alright.
My guess is that you’re good for Irvine, Riverside, and Santa Barbara. SD is probable, LA is a bit of a stretch. Any SAT II’s?
Being almost trilingual is a plus though, did you include that in your app?</p>
