Title was used for viewing There’s no way I’m getting into every university lol as you can see:
Hello all,

I just want to start of by saying that my first 1 and a half years of high school were terrible. I tried, and failed for the first 1 and a half years (freshman- sophomore 1st sem). I know, that really kills me since the UC’s look at 10th. I had some depression which negatively impacted my first years. From family issues to personal issues, it was a rough time. Also I transferred from a VERY LOW standard middle school to a VERY COMPETITIVE AND HIGH standard high school But thankfully, things do change. I started making lots of friends, I became more popular, I actually looked forward to going to school in the morning.

So I’m applying to UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCSB, Cal Poly SLO, University of Washington, and Pepperdine University

  1. Are you in state CA? If not, can you pay 55k per year?
  2. Are you religious? Pepperdine seems to be a very odd one in the list because if you are not a devout Christian, you will not fit in the school well.

I live in California, Berkeley. I’m also Pakistani and male.

Everything rides on your SATs, and even then UCLA and Berkeley will be reaches. The other schools are matches.

Berkeley, UCLA, and USC high match to reach…Everything else I’d say is a match
You might have a chance at getting into every one of these universities lol
Good luck!

Without SAT, it’s pointless, but…assuming you get at least 2100+

UC Berkeley, UCLA: reach~low reach
USC: reach, but uptrend may help

UC Davis, UC Irvine: match
UCSB: low match
University of Washington: low reach. However, full pay student is hard to reject, huh?
Pepperdine University: match.
