Your GPA is high, but SAT is low. Up the SAT to be in for sure. You can also check your points by googling UCSD admission point system or something to that affect.

You have a pretty high chance of getting into UCI and UCSD.
My SAT was same as yours but 800 Math instead and GPA was a bit higher with similar extracurriculars but I got rejected from LA and Berkeley.

It really depends on luck a lot. Make sure you write a killer essay to separate you from the other applicants

I'd say in everywhere up until ucsd, unless you raise your SAT score.

It really depends on how many students each UC is going to cut back. I've seen people with 1400s on SAT get accepted UCB with stellar essays and 1-2 4 year sports.

It just depends. Really write an awesome essay(s).

Your chances for UCSD are i think a match.

I thought UCSD didn't use the essay for admissions except to scan it for things that give extra points in the formula.

MiniatureDrone · 10-16-2009, 09:47 PM

i think you are in. SATs are the only things holding you back

has no one heard of statfinder.com

Gives you all the statistics on uc admits.

Guitarist, In calculating your weighted GPA of 4.5, do you use two semester grades for each 3-unit community college course or just one?
