<p>Your major weakness is, obviously, your GPA. Normally, your high SAT score is great, but colleges could see the low GPA + C’s and the high SAT, and think “Too bad, he is smart but he is a slacker.” ECs are solid, I would play up and highlight your work experience in addition to sports (UCLA in particular likes this). Your best bet from here is to work on your essays! Justify yourself, and sell your self to colleges. Any hardships to play up? Any explanation for the C’s? (Note: Do this without whining, etc; don’t sell yourself out).</p>

<p>UCR - safety
UCM - safety
UCSD - reach
UCSC - match
UCI - match
UCD - high match
UCSB - high match
UCLA - mid reach
UCB - mid/high reach</p>
