<p>USC- Low reach, simply because of your test scores. Your top SAT II’s aren’t bad, but to have a much better shot you need to break 2000 on the SAT I. USC weights your SAT more than GPA. Also, work on your EC’s, acquire leadership positions, USC likes to see those as well.</p>

<p>UCLA- In/Low reach. Your EC’s aren’t bad but work on putting together a solid portfolio. The UC’s place a large emphasis on grades/GPA so based upon your stats this should help you a lot. </p>

<p>UC Berkeley- Reach. Again work on EC’s and leadership positions, higher SAT would help but above 1900 would suffice because your GPA is high enough. </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Your test scores are low for the schools you want to attend. If you can raise them, you will be a good candidate as your grades for these schools are ok. Good luck!</p>
