To tell you the truth, I think you have a shot at UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz. Your chances to get into UC Berk. is low because your SAT/GPA are relatively average and the fact that you are a over-represented minority, your chances goes are not good.
Reply:i think that ucla will be the only one that you might have problems with. you're gpa is kind of low for them, but your extra curriculars and the majority of your AP and SAT scores are amazing.





you need to spend time writing an amazing essay and get great letters of recommendation.





and for a little sidenote, if have the option, i would NOT go to ucriverside. i live in the riverside area, and a lot of my friends go there, and very few if any of them are happy with that school.





good luck on your applications!
Reply:your chances for berkeley are very low--it's a top school, and your gpa isn't good enough (sorry!) but i mean, you can definitely try! ucla is probably a 'target'...i dunno about the others.


good luck!!!
