<p>I plan to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist. And I know I have a whack plan but I also plan to take advantage in being in a college in California so I would have more opportunities to be in the acting industry.</p>

<p>You do realize that the majority of UC’s are not “near the acting industry,” right? Probably only UCLA, but with your GPA UCLA seems unlikely. </p>

<p>UCSC is a match, UCD/UCSB slight reaches, and UCR and UCM are safeties. What is your UC GPA?</p>

<p>^agree with above poster but without your UC GPA it is hard to say for sure… For instance, you could take a lot of weighted classes and be at a 4.0, which is competitive for most UCs. </p>

<p>Also would be helpful if you posted test scores as well.</p>
