Dear all, the followings are my numbers, do you guys know what schools in California would likely to accept me?

UCLA Applied Math major, GPA 3.86, major GPA: 3.84

GRE 158v 163q 3.5aw

It's tough to say, but I think you have a strong chance at all California schools except Berkeley and Stanford.

UCLA would normally be tricky (since they apparently get a lot of applicants), but since you already did undergrad there and did so with a high math GPA I would be shocked if they didn't accept you.

I think you may also have a shot at Berkeley and Stanford. Do you have strong letters of recommendation as well as an A in Real Analysis and/or grad-level quantitative classes? Or perhaps an elite data science/tech internship? Any one of those (especially the first and last) would help tremendously with getting into the top MS programs.

Edit: I just looked at your earlier post. Congrats on improving your GRE scores! And you should definitely still apply to Berkeley/Stanford, as I still think you have a shot.

Thank you for your time. I actually hope that I can get in UCLA, then UCSD and UCR. I don't know if its worth it to go to UCD or UCSB instead of UCR if I don't get in UCLA or UCSD.

About the GRE, thank you, yeah i studied like crazily since the Fall (taking 4 classes) then the whole winter break.
