<p>Thanks! That’s more or less what I predicted…
I only took two subject tests – 740 on Literature, 600 on US History.</p>

<p>Are you applying from in our out of state?</p>

5

<p>I’m an in-state applicant. Does that affect anything?</p>

<p>The UCs actually appear very often on these boards, lol.</p>

<p>Your chances are good. I would say UCSD is a match. UC Davis, UCSB, and UCI are low matches, and UCSC is a safety. UCB and UCLA are reaches, but you definitely still have a shot at both.</p>

<p>UCs are second only to the top-30 schools as far as CC appearances are concerned.</p>

<p>Berkeley: High match
UCLA: High match
UCSD: Match
UCD: Low match
UCI: Low match
UCSB: Low match
UCSC: Safety</p>
