<p>Do yourself a favor...
Study your A$$ off and raise your SAT scores. They are holding you back from having a good shot at Berk and LA.
Your EC's are not particularly strong. Hopefully you are REALLY dedicated to one of them and can really explain it well in your application. (Have you done anything with Biology like a summer program?)</p>

<p>Just curious, why is he a reach for LA and Berkeley? He seems to be at about the average admitted GPA and SAT.</p>
