You’ll most likely be able to get into at least one of the four with those scores. Wouldn’t stress out if I were you.

I think UCD and UCSB are matches. UCLA/UCB probably a High match/Low Reach. For UCLA and UCB, it will come down to the quality of your EC’s and essays. Good Luck and you should be hearing soon.

I agree with @Gumbymom but with a but of disagreement. As an African American and a first generation student, you should have a huge boost to your chances.

California public universities banned affirmative action so being a URM will not help, but First Generation will.
