Your GPA and test scores are low for UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC and UC San Diego. You need over a 4.0+ UC GPA and test scores in the 2100+/31+ range for a decent chance at these schools. You have good EC’s but your academics need a boost.

With your test scores and GPA, I would cross Berkeley, Michigan, Chicago, and UPenn off your list. As an international, and especially an Asian applicant, you’ll be compared against people with scores in the 2200+ range and near-perfect GPAs.

As an out-of-state applicant, the UCs are going to cost you more than $50,000 a year. Can you afford that?

Indeed, most of the schools on the list are out of your reach. You need better test scores for these schools. Try to get at least 31/2100.
