<p>Looking at your grades and courses I'm guessing your GPA is like a 4.7 or something. Your UC GPA is probably a little under a 4.3. Here's what I'd say:</p>

<p>UCSD: low match
UCB/UCLA: high match</p>

<p>Cal/LA are hardly ever matches for anyone, but I rarely see applicants with your grades get rejected from those schools. I say high match mainly because of the SAT (which is just below the averages at Cal/LA and just above the average at SD), but if you score over 2100 Cal and LA would both be matches for you.</p>
