<p>i would say work hard on raising your SAT score and do a good interview…you have a chance at getting into UCLA…i would also suggest trying to raise your GPA a bit more if you can…and i think UC Davis is a target school and UCSB is a target as well…stanford may be a reach though so if you wanna go there you have to work really hard…also where in california are you from? and santa clara will be pretty easy to get into and LMU will be easy to</p>

<p>Ok thanks for the help. And I’m from Sacramento. Are you from Cali</p>

<p>have you considered the LACs in california? how about occidental and pitzer. great universities that seem to be around your range.</p>

<p>I don’t think you have much of a shot at Stanford… Your GPA’s fine, and your ECs night be fine if you had a 4.0 & 2400, but you barely have a 2000… So I’d say Stanford’s out of your league.</p>

<p>UCLA and USC are reachy, but you have a shot at both of them. </p>

<p>You have pretty good chances everywhere else(: </p>

<p>Have you looked into LACs like Pitzer and Occidental? You’d have a shot at both, and at Pepperdine (not an LAC but still).</p>

<p>Thanks for all the feedback. I havent checked out the LAC’s but ill take a look at them.</p>
