<p>UCSB, SDSU, and UCSC are pretty much guaranteed in for you, I think. </p>

<p>Berkeley and LA are really competitive, so I’d call them low reaches or reaches.</p>

<p>Cal Poly Engineering is also competitive, but I think you’re probably in. I’d call it a high match to very low reach.</p>

<p>Dunno anything about Arizona.</p>

<p>@CultClassic Thanks for the response!</p>

<p>With your 4.0 uGPA, you will be a competitive applicant for all the schools listed. Unfortunately, your test scores are somewhat below average for Berkeley and LA, so try to bring that up and you’ll be within match/high match.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m hoping my Personal Statement will push me over the top for UCLA and UCB. If not, I’d still be ecstatic about going to UCSB/Cal Poly SLO/SDSU!</p>
