<p>I'm also a current applicant, but if no one else is going to chance you then I'd say you are a reach. Its not impossible, but it's definitely a bit of a long shot. </p>

<p>Raise your SAT I and II significantly and it may go down to a slight reach.</p>

3

<p>Well, you have 20 semesters of honors level classes which is good. Something like 75% with 15+ get in.. If you can get a good SAT and SAT II score I'd say you'd have a pretty good chance.</p>

4

<p>I think it's a reach, your GPA is pretty low.</p>

5

<p>ratroll, do the UCs count the # of semesters including senior yr?</p>

<p>Not likely based on your posted info.</p>
