Based on your GPA/SAT:
Santa Cruz, Riverside, Merced.
Tulane is a match, should easily get accepted to William and Mary, should get into all UC’s but Berkeley is a reach
I disagree with @cappex I think UCLA,UCSD are reaches as well UC davis is a low reach, SB and Irvine are matches and riverside merced and santa cruz are safeties. But how is your UC GPA higher than your weighted GPA
Really it will depend on their major. CA resident and UC GPA will help. If we are talking Engineering then yes, but if we are talking liberal arts mine is accurate.
@cappex you know UClA’s average gpa in the school of arts and sciences is like an unweighted 3.8 and a weighted 4.5 so i think unlikely for LA unless the SAT is brought up to like a 2150
It will be very tough to get into the top 3 UCs with those stats.

That is UCLA as a whole, discounting a less competitive major/school.

You will get into UCLA.
UCLA/UCB/UCSD: Low Reach
UCD/UCSB: High Match
UCI/UCSC: Match
UCR/UCM: Low Match
Tulane: match
W&M : reach (since you’re OOS) + can your parents pay full costs (50K/year) with no financial aid?
@cappex but UC looks at weighted gpa more which is a 4.4 for admits and he’s at a 4.1 and his SAT is at a 1970 which is barely above the 25th percentile for admits so why do you think he’ll get in with a below average GPA and SAT
How is your UC GPA higher than your fully weighted GPA? I think you miscalculated your UC GPA. All the UCs except UCB and UCLA use the UC GPA for admissions purposes.
@QuiteAverage90 yeah thats what I thought @lrj916 go to rogerhub they have a UC GPA calculator
Looks like your best shot is to retake SAT or try your chances at the ACT and apply to UCD, UCSD, UCI
UCLA and UCB are reaches
UCD, UCSD, and UCI are matches
UCSC is a safety
UWashington is a match
Tulane is a high match
William and Mary is a low reach
To build on your ECs, acquire a leadership position in something. Bring up those test scores and take the hardest classes offered at your school.
Could you chance me back? Thanks!

High match for UW as an OOS applicant. SAT is fine (between 50th and 75th percentiles), but unweighted GPA is below the 2014 average of 3.76, and these numbers have been getting higher every year. Could go either way. Good luck!
