<p>Looking good with USC and UChi as reaches. Your GPA doesn't screw you over at the others.</p>

3

<p>No chance at UCLA if out of state. Let's hope you're a CA resident.
Oops, just noticed the reference to NorCal.</p>

<p>I got into UR with a 2040, 3.6, weaker schedule, and weaker ECs. I also speak Russian fluently/born in Russia, so wanted to wish you luck :)</p>

<p>LMU--match
University of Rochester--match
UCSB (in-state)--match
UCSD (in-state)--match to slight reach
UCLA (in-state)--reach (GPA isn't cutting it)
Cal Poly (in-state)--match
Bentley--safety to safe match
Babson--match
SMU--safe match
USC (in-state)--match to slight reach (closer to slight reach)
