you probably won't get into UCSC, UCD or UCI. it's very sad. they stress GPA *so much*. my gpa was 3.1UW (3.5 UC gpa) and i was rejected from all 3 even though my SAT was high (2300). I did have a few C's though, and a downwar

if you look at this year's admissions threads you see many examples of the same thing.

I really don't normally chance

uhhh

NYU and Oberlin are no's probably (doesn't mean you shouldn't apply..) SFU is a yes probably.

if you just look the rest up i would say you will probably not get into any school with an SAT average of 1900+, may get into a school with averages 1700-1900, and will probably get into a school with an average SAT less than 1700.

yeah.
