<p>I’m interested in hearing your opinions on this. What do you think are the best schools that one can get into with just good grades (lets say a 3.8-4.0 unweighted, a nice rank i.e. top 2%) and good scores (for example 2200 and above on the SAT and 32 and above on the ACT)? I am not trying to be racist or anything but it seems just by looking at the majority race at UC’s, those schools are the most privy to focusing on good grades and scores, so I will contend that probably the best schools one can get into with just grades and scores is schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley (although if I am understanding this correctly, if you are out of California, then they will look at your application much like Ivy League Adcoms do).</p>
