<p>Since you’re going to be Chem E, I recommend that you improve your mathematical skills outside of class. Chem E is extremely math intensive. One time, I was at the textbook store and I was curious what kind of content chem e would have, so I looked through one of its textbook. All I saw was basically multivariable calculus, specifically double and triple integrals. </p>
<p>Anyways, UCSD is still pretty good with engineering. You should at least be happy that you got into that school.</p>
<p>@Fintork Although I dislike standardized tests, they’re there for a reason: not all high schools are the same and hence not all classes are taught and graded the same way. That’s why there are the issues with grade inflation/deflation. For example, an AP Calculus at one high school might be a total joke, whereas at another high school, it might be taught with more emphasis on proofs than computation. The manner of how AP Calculus is taught is not revealed to admission committee. So, how do we compare one’s person mathematical ability to another person’s from another school? standardized testing.</p>
