<p>here’s a link to a rough rubric of UCSD’s point system. I don’t know if it’s 100% accurate, but you can chance yourself. </p>

<p>[ucsd</a> score](<a href=“http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgZdcuCvC25ncEtCMXlENWlRbl84d3FINWJoTWtoWnc&gid=0]ucsd”>http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgZdcuCvC25ncEtCMXlENWlRbl84d3FINWJoTWtoWnc&gid=0)</p>

<p>I think you are 99.9% in, but you will only get 100% when the decision finally comes out
I can’t wait either, but what else can you do ???</p>

<p>In honesty, I’ve seen so many ranges of GPAs getting in and not getting in it baffles me. I’m pretty sure the school or district you graduate HS from has a role in determining your admission. For example, I’ve seen friends in an LA school district with a UC weighted of ~3.3 get in whereas friends in my OC district not get in with UC weighted GPA’s of ~3.8-4.0 (with comparable SAT scores between the two districts).</p>

<p>Your stats are pretty good though. so hang in there until admissions are announced ;).</p>

<p>I would say you’re good too</p>

<p>Schw1ng, I really agree with your point. I have looked in my schools scattergrams (Private Catholic School with a great reputation in the district) and 50% of the admittants get admitted in the 3.7-3.95 range with about a 1850 SAT.</p>

<p>So yes, I do think it matters where you graduate from HS.</p>

<p>I went to UCD…I’d say you are in…if you live in CA. I didn’t realize how tough it is for out-of-staters to get into a UC…until my daughter is now applying from NJ…the threshhold is insane</p>

8

<p>They actually give you points for going to a low tier high school…</p>

<p>That’s fair. Inflated GPA + Easy ELC = 300 bonus points for having it “tougher”.</p>

<p>I heard that UCSD decisions might come as early as this weekend …</p>

10

<p>Same here, there are rumors that UCLA is sending out their decisions on Friday, March 11th. But I believe most of us should know decisions on the 15th for UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCLA.</p>

<p>Edit: Thanks Lauren</p>

11

<p>*Friday, March 11</p>

12

<p>thanks for the insight! can anyone also chance me for LA and berk? I know its prolly a reach… but is there any hope for me?</p>

13

<p>supaslinky, you are 99.9%, you will know if you get to 100% in the next couple of days …</p>

14

<p>not to sure if California scholarship federation is academic prep program [sounds like it from the name though]… but you are about on par with me for points… which is awesome!! [oh im also applying, lol…]</p>

<p>you jump in SAT’s, and i jump in GPA… its literally almost the same :)</p>

<p>lol why cant UCSD just accept us all and not give us such a hard time…</p>

15

<p>lol why cant UCSD just accept us all and not give us such a hard time…</p>

<p>then we would not have suffer enough, hee hee hee</p>

<p>“Pay me now or pay me later”. If everyone gets in, then there will be a very tough weed out program. Which way do you prefer?</p>
