My background/stats:

-Jr. Year{ APUSH, APCALC AB, AP English Lang}
-Sr. Year{ APGOV, APCALC BC, AP English Lit, AP Physics}

-African American student, Cathedral High School

Honestly, the UCs are very big on test scores and GPA. Though you seem pretty qualified in terms of extra-curricular activities, your test score is not very high. Realistically, I don’t see you getting into UCLA, UCB, or USC. On a brighter note, there is some hope with UCSB, because they aren’t as selective as LA, Berkeley, or USC. (Though, I wouldn’t say its easy to get in). This is not to put you down, I’m just being real with you. The UCs are very hard to get into because they receive so many qualified applicants.

With all of this said though, I wish you the best of luck!

I’d say you have decent chances at USC and UCSB but not Berkeley. UCLA can go either way, I heard they barely admit any black people because of race blind admissions.

5

I have to agree with everyone on Santa Barbara, but USC has money and may admit you. Your SAT score is too low for the rest of the UC’s, but you never know; it’s always a crap shoot.

Your SAT scores are kind of low for most UC’s and USC.
