That's all I could remember for now...</p>
<p>I want to go to UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, or UCDavis.
I would also like to know unpopular majors for all those schools. I don't care if I'd be studying freaking carpentry or something. I just want to get in first. LOL
And what can I do to improve my chance? Thank you!!</p>
<p>It really depends on your class rank and if you took the most rigorous class schedule, as well as your UC GPA. Until then, you're chances at berkeley/ucla/uscd are pretty slim.</p>
<p>Also, I'm not 100% but I don't think UCs accept languages like korean/chinese/ect if they are your native language. I'm fairly sure you need both math lvl2c and a science or social science.</p>
<p>The most important factor that everyone is saying you can't get in is because of your SAT. I'll be frank in saying that a 1680 simply will not do for schools like SD or Berkeley. Sure, I know some people that got in with those scores, but they also had remarkably high GPAs as well, and it seems as though you haven't been taking as many AP/Honors that would've brought your GPA up. If you can bring up your SAT score to break 2000, I think you can put Berkeley/LA in your sights. </p>
<p>BTW: Your SAT II in Korean is fine. UC's only need 2 SAT IIs, and they can be on whatever you want, just not Math IC (why do they still offer it is a mystery).</p>
