<p>i suggest checking out some smaller colleges in california. small liberal arts colleges often like IB students. just a few suggestions are Pomona, claremont mckenna, occidental</p>

<p>Raise the GPA, get good test scores. The rest looks pretty good. UCLA and Berkeley are extremely difficult so also consider Davis, Santa Barbara, and similar schools. Riverside is in an undesirable area although the school is good. But since u are OOS and want a better area of California, I would not recommend UCR</p>

<p>And USC is also hard to get in, not as hard as LA or Berkeley tho. UCS emphasizes test scores more than the UCs</p>
