<p>Reality check:</p>
<p>UCLA/UCB/UCSD: Impossible
UCI/UCD: Very very high reach, it’d be like playing russian roulette with 5 bullets.
UCSB: This is going to be a reach, unless you get your SAT score above 2000.
UCSC: Not exactly a match, but a far less reach than UCSB.
UCR: PERFECT! you’re in. (Join the club)
UCM: Don’t bother with.</p>
