I think you have a good shot

MidnightTurtle

ahah thanks! i hope you're right

Mm but the thing is, I think engineering majors are impacted here, so it might be better to apply as undeclared. You'll have a much better chance getting accepted but once you're in, it'll be really hard to declare as mechanical engineering.

MidnightTurtle

Hum. If i got into SD as an undeclared, how would I go about going into Mech Engineering?
Thanks!

Just apply as your desired major, if you get into UCSD but not the Mechanical Engineering Dept, you will be notified and have a chance to enter undeclared and switch majors later.

pretty sure thats how it works

MidnightTurtle

oh! Thanks for clearing that up for me! I guess i'll just apply as a mech engie then go with undeclared as my alternative thanks!

Your gpa and sat are decent, not too great but you have been captain for 3 years. You have a pretty good chance.

Decent shot, your impacted major makes it less likely, but you can check your own point total.
