<p>UCLA and UCB would be my dream schools. Please chance me for UCLA, UCB, UCSB, Cal Poly SLO, UVA, USC, USD, Stanford, </p>

<p>How do you think I could improve my chances to the top schools on that list??</p>

<p>ps. planning on retaking all exams.
2 ap, 1 honors course taken so far
planning on 4 ap and 1 honors senior year, or 5 ap</p>

<p>Stanford: Reach
UCB/UCLA: Slight Reach (in-state)
UCSD: Match (in-state)
USC: Match
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Safe Match (in-state)
Cal Poly SLO: Safe Match (in-state)
UVA: Match-Slight Reach (out of state)
USD: Safety</p>

<p>I think you got a good shot at schools like UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, and USC. You are pretty much a sure bet at UCI/UCSB/UCD and Cal Poly SLO. UVA is only a match-slight reach because you are OOS. USD seems out of place amongst the rest of the schools you listed, as it is significantly easier to get into and should be used as your safety.</p>

<p>Raise your sat score and you’re good for most of them, stanford if your essays will stand out.</p>

<p>what are UCs?</p>

<p>university of california…</p>
