<p>HOLY SHIZZ…
O<em>O
You’ve got so many extracurriculars and awards… thats going to look amazing, bcs it shows you can do so well in a LOT of different things… your scores aren’t bad either..
you have to give me tips, man.. o</em>o</p>

<p>You’ve got a pretty good shot at getting into your universities considering you’re in-state. </p>

<p>Berkeley: Mid-Reach
USC: Mid-Reach
UCLA: Slight to Mid-Reach
SD: Safety, if you took a bunch of honors/AP classes.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is a bit weak, though your ACT is good. Your weighted GPA also seems a bit low. However, you have good ECs and honors/awards, though you won’t be able to fit them all on the application. I’d say:</p>

<p>Berkeley: slight reach - high match
UCLA: high match
UCSD: safe match - safety (ELC)
USC: match</p>

<p>I took as many ap/honors classes as my school offered (ehm..4 all together…small school!!) and my GPA is kinda low because I got a couple of Bs in my ap classes. </p>

<p>But thanks for the chancing!!!</p>

<p>bummmmpppppppppp</p>
