<p>Hello, I would love to hear what you think my chances are for the mid-tier UC schools. My stats aren't amazing, but I hope that they are acceptable for the schools that I am interested in. My low GPA can be attributed to my grades in the math courses that I have taken (I'm terrible in math). </p>
<p>Additional notes:
UC schools that I am interested in: UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine
I have an upward trend in my grades from 9th-11th grade, starting from a 3.0 and to 4.25...
I am a minority (African American), though AA is not around anymore...
I have taken around 50 A-G courses.
I've been told, and have received the awards to prove that I am a good writer. I will have amazing personal statements.</p>
