<p>If you are a California resident you would seem to have a good shot at UCB and Ucla (probably not a lot of the 800 SAT math folks applying to the history programs, so the low math score isn’t a mortal flaw). McGill should be much easier for you to get in…I wouldn’t sweat McGill.</p>

<p>TourGuide, since he is ELC, he is a California resident.</p>

<p>Your weakness is your SAT scores, but I think you will get in at both Cal and LA. Not too familiar with Canadian colleges so I don’t know about McGill.</p>

<p>Good GPA, slightly weak SAT, good ACT, good SAT IIs, and good ECs. Do you have any honors/awards?</p>

<p>Berkeley: slight reach - high match (50-60%)
UCLA: high match</p>
