::raises BS flag::

It’s impossible to get a 1375 on the SAT. Scores go in increments of 10.

Being Afghanese won’t help you for UC Berkeley. The UC’s do not use Affirmative Action, nor do they take into account any family member who went there.

If your real SAT score is somewhere around 1370 I would say that Berkeley and Stanford are reaches (AA will help you for stanford admissions, though I’m not clear how much). I would put your chances of getting into Berkeley at 30% and Stanford at remote, depending on your class rank. If you are in the top 10% of your class, you’ve got a decent chance of getting into Stanford.

However, you have a Very good shot at San Diego, Davis, and any of the other UC’s excluding LA. Also consider applying to USC- your stats seem to be right at their acceptance numbers, and your ethinicity will help you there.
