<p>Your reading SAT score is a bit inconsistent-looking, since your other sections are 700s, but it’s all good in the hood, as they say :] </p>

<p>If you’re into more of a country-esque school, then I highly recommend UC Davis, as well. It’s a lot like UC Irvine, but in a more rural setting. Beautiful landscapes, and it’s near the California capital. Strong, strong medical program (more so than UC Berk!). I suggest you consider it.</p>

4

<p>what about the other schools listed</p>

5

<p>Rice - Never heard of this school.
UT(austin) - Yep…I guess. I don’t know too much about Texan schools (I’m from California)</p>

<p>Ah, here we go! :P<br>
UCLA - I will say not really for now, because with your being out of state and all…but you still have a chance.<br>
UC berkeley - Same as UCLA, but to a slightly heightened level. UCLA/Berkeley are VERY competitive schools.
UC Irvine - Yep.
UC santa barbara - Most definitely.
UC santa monica - There’s no such thing, Hahaha. Unless you mean UC Santa Cruz? If so, then yes you have great shot at UCSC.<br>
USC - I guess so.
University of Washington - Don’t know.</p>

6

<p>yeah, cruz is what i meant</p>

<p>also forgot to list UC san diego</p>

7

<p>UCSD: somewhere between middle ground of UCLA/Berk and UC Irvine. So it’s like, an 83% chance you have a chance, Hahaha.</p>

8

<p>I’d say you’re in everywhere except WashU =D</p>

9

<p>i meant university of Washington in Seattle.</p>

<p>not washu lol</p>

10

<p>WashU = Washington University, Hahahaha.</p>

11

<p>also, what would be some good safety schools?</p>

12

<p><em>has never heard of Washington University =P</em>
I think considering your grades and SAT scores, you could look into even better colleges than that. A lot of those you listed I would consider safeties for you.</p>

13

<p>Aren’t the UCs really tough to get into out-of-state? I’d definitely try broadening your list beyond state schools. Definitely look into some private schools - the costs are similar to OOS tuition and you won’t be competing with students from in-state.</p>
