<p>I don't think i have too much of a shot at ucla and berkeley, but hey why not. what do ya'll think are my chances at those schools?</p>

<p>Actually, I think UCLA is within reach. Berkely is a bit more of a reach but not out of the question depending on what you are majoring in I would think.</p>

<p>political science...communications...international relations. most likely political science though.</p>

<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach
UCSD: Match
UCI: Safe Match</p>

<p>wow...thanx...i didn't think i had that great of a shot. do the essays make or break you for ucla and ucb? cause' i know for ucsd, unless you have a personal hardship or something, they really don't do anything for you at all</p>

<p>anybody else wanna chance me? i need more opinions to make me feel better. and don't say no...haha</p>

<p>to make you feel better =D just apply to all the schools you want to apply to =D Do you really think what we say on this board will actually change your mind on which schools u will actually be applying to?...simply no...So good luck!</p>

<p>Slight reach is not that great of a shot.</p>
