<p>to rasd765 </p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance at UCI, UCSB, and possibly UCD. Your tests scores are also along the range to get into UCSD …however, your below average gpa might make that a reach. USB and UCLA are very high reaches. Your ECs are not bad, however, and I think that and your personal statement might make the difference for ucb/ucla. Which college did you apply to for UCB?</p>

<p>also, are you in a tough financial situation, an underrepresented minority, first gen. college student, etc? these factors also contribute to the application process. </p>

<p>Chance me back please!</p>

496

<p>hello !!! i posted my stats too!!!</p>

497

<p>shayant: reach for Berkeley, LA, and SD
match/reach for Davis depending on what major
match for every other UC</p>

<p>also, try to make it seem like you don’t expect that people are obligated to chance you on a thread =P</p>

<p>I didn’t factor in the TOEFL score since I don’t anything about it, but if it is relatively high then that should boost your chances</p>

498

<p>thank you
i was just joking . sorry didn’t mean anything</p>
