<p>Thank you in advance everyone!</p>

<p>I think it sounds like you have a good chance, especially with the honors you’ve received and connection with philosophy, and being a first-time college student!
Also if philosophy is impacted (I’m not really sure if it is), you could always apply undecided and increase your chances of getting in. </p>

<p>Is your GPA weighted or unweighted? What about honors/AP classes?</p>

<p>UCLA: High Match/Low Reach
UC Berkeley: Low REACH</p>

<p>My GPA is weighted and are only UC transferable classes. I have not done any honors classes. </p>

<p>@ Pats 1234 What do you mean by low reach?</p>

<p>Low Reach i mean i could see you getting in but i could see you not getting in. Im giving you a 50/50 chance</p>

<p>What else do you think I can improve on?</p>
