<p>Wont massacre you, but they will prob. prevent you from getting in berk.</p>

4

<p>your sat ii's are a little low, just really study and retake them. I got the same foreign language (but I took the French) so I know how you feel. don't worry, i'm sure you'll get into ucla!</p>

<p>thanks guys.</p>

<p>and i could care less about berkeley. it's way too liberal. not that everywhere isn't, but still.. not into that scene. the college never really appealed to me.</p>

<p>other opinions?</p>

<p>I don't know so much about a lot of these schools but I do know a few pretty well.
UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Low Reach
UCSB: Match/Safety
U of Florida: Match
Loyola Marymount: Safety(since they don't consider state residency)
Boston U: Low Match/Safety
Don't know too much about the rest..</p>

<p>hey, what's wrong with berkeley? it's ranked higher than UCLA.
UCLA is not that big of a reach, though you should try to get higher SAT II's.</p>

9

<p>it's liberal-ness. the atmosphere. don't like san francisco. etc.</p>

10

<p>Personally, i like Berkeley with its diverse boutiques and restaurants all along the streets and stuff. SF is fun, crowded, but fun.</p>

<p>LA has bad traffic and air quality. But yea, it's just my personal opinion. :)</p>

11

<p>and i have complete respect for it :)</p>

12

<p>ucla - reach just cause you are oos and below average gpa for uc admitted students</p>
