<p>It really depends on your school. If it's public, what rank is it out of the public schools in your local area? state? I would love to say that you are a very good match for all of them, except I don't know enough information about your school, and yes that plays a huge factor.</p>

<p>My school is apparently ranked 492 out of 1898 schools in California. If that helps, let me know what you think. Thanks!</p>

<p>UCSB: in
UCSD: Match
UCLA: Low reach
USC: Low reach</p>

<p>You have a good shot at all those schools, especially if you can get the SAT IIs up</p>

<p>UCSB: Safety
UCSD: Safety-Match (especially with ELC)
UCLA: Reach
USC: low reach </p>

<p>Where does one get the information on where a public HS is ranked when compared to others (in CA, of course, based on this thread)?</p>
