<p>Your stats look very good. I think UCSD would be a great match for you.
You also have an ok chance at Berkely and LA, those are very difficult schools to get into but you should definitley apply to them because you never know.
UC's like Santa Barbara, Irvine, and Davis would also be good matches/safeties for you.</p>

<p>does gpa play a big role in ucsd selection, i mean since they use a comprehensive review formula a 3.85W and 4.00W only has a 150 point difference, iono i need some feedback cuz i think by the end of junior year i will have a 3.85W gpa....:(</p>

<p>the SAT I needs some lifting</p>

<p>for all but UCLA & UCB, the SAT is fine, especially given the quality of your SAT II's. For UCLA & Berkeley, given the fact that your GPA is below average, your SAT's would need to be above average.</p>

<p>Just letting you know, you can no longer pick and choose which SATs to report, so you will have to report that Math 2.</p>

<p>I don't know, her stats may be a little low, but I like the fact that her extracurriculars are definitely in-line, more so than most applicants I've seen. Girls in Action, Cultural Awareness, Green Club, Softball & decent community service hours- all are very socially conscious, a young girl trying to find her identity in the world. I like it a lot. If your GPA was about .2 higher weighted than you'd stand a solid shot at Berkeley. As is, you are a reach (but I wouldn't be surprised if you made it in somehow- it all depends on your essay, and if you emphasize what I perceived to be the inspiration behind those activities). Are there any other somethings that could shed some more light and give you an extra boost? Minority status, low-income family, underrepresented school...? Best of luck,</p>
