<p>@Gumbymom Thanks! Do you think getting my SAT scores up 100 points or so around the 2200 range would greatly improve my chances at UCSD? Also, should I take ACT? </p>

<p>@elefish92 Thanks! Hopefully I can get into one of those UC’s.</p>

<p>Try getting your gpa up to 3.75 , your SAT up to 2200+, and try to focus on your essays!
If that’s possible ^, you’re a match for all those UCs and CSUs!

<p>@SuperCrazyAsian You’re welcome, good luck to you and your admissions. You’ll probably get into one of them, hopefully you become a Triton. :)</p>

<p>@SuperCrazyAsian: You have a good shot all the colleges listed, I just put UCSD as a High Match due to the competitiveness of the major. My son had 4 friends that had similar Stats, apply this year and 2 got into UCSD for ME but all 4 got rejected from SLO. If you can get your SAT up to 2200, it will definitely help. Good Luck.</p>

<p>@Gumbymom Wow! SLO is extremely competitive. I know UC chances are random I just wanted to see where I’m at thank you! I’m not the best just average and hopefully I’ll become a Triton! I’ve been so stressed about it but hopefully I will get in. Just hope for the best! Thanks for your time! :)</p>
