Seems like you have a pretty good chance at all. B/LA are reaches for everyone though, but still great chance. SAT score is a bit on lower side, especially for engineering which will be more competitive than college as a whole. What’s your uncapped UC GPA? Berkeley and LA will look at that. Anyway, good luck!

Solid chance at all schools. But like mentioned above, SAT is a bit low especially for engineering. Try to raise that if you can.

4

My uncapped GPA is the same as I only took 8 semester of AP classes in sophomore/junior year. And for the SAT scores, are you referring to SAT 1 or SAT 2? Thanks:)))

@vavster19 SAT 1 :slight_smile: Now that you mention SAT 2, Physics looks good but Math is a bit on the lower side, especially for engineering. However the SAT Math isn’t going to hurt you, it’s either going to help or not have any effect. I’d just focus on retaking the SAT.
