“”“This pattern of more apps has been going on for years without too much of a pronounced effect on admissions standards. They have gone up, but it’s not all that bad.
UCSD’s admit stats are skewed by the large number of people who apply to UCB/UCLA and just check UCSD off as their safe school. So when in reality you would need a 3.8/3.9 weighted, the statistics register a 4.0 weighted for an average admit because of the large number of people with 4.3’s applying and getting accepted.
In my opinion a 3.8-3.9 weighted/1950 SAT is a match for UCSD provided that SAT II’s are decent.”“”

-I would say a 3.8 1950 is deff not a match for UCSD. More like a slight reach. What you are saying was true about 5-10 years ago. however, students with 3.8 and 1950 are denied admission to UCSD all the time. those stats deffiantly do not make UCSD a match. Im not saying he could not get in, however it is deff not a 50% chance.

UCLA: Reach
UCSD: Slight Reach
