<p>umm anyone gonna post any respons :)</p>

<p>pleaseee… im sry its long…</p>

<p>wait can you answer this to people…</p>

<p>On UCSD applications. do you have to specify how many hours or how many years you have volunteered or done Extra Curricular?</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the UCs but if you do get that 2050 (although 2100+ would be optimal) UCSD would become a match.
You really need to do well on your other two subject tests (750+) to make up for that low Spanish score.
ECs are decent but I doubt they matter all that much for the UCs. Focus primarily on your scores and GPA.</p>

<p>Good luck! :)</p>

<p>thanks for the good luck… i hope you get your princeton dreams (if not already achieved)
… i really appreciate it… 2100 huh? ill see. that might be what i might get… as for the subject test… idk? math will be easy! and biology i might be able to pull of a 700?</p>

<p>please continue to chance me people…</p>

<p>Hello. Your strong GPA is a plus for these schools. If you work hard and increase your SAT scores, maybe up to 2050-2100, you should have an excellent shot at your main choice UCSD. Even if you can increase your SAT scores substantially, UCLA and UCB will still be hard to get into due to their highly competitive nature. To have a truly good shot at these two, you should aim for close to a 2150-2200 SAT score. Your extracurricular activities show that you are very involved in your culture, which you should definitely incorporate into your essays. A bit of advice, although I am sure that your SlumDogs activity is for a very good cause, that term is highly offensive and colleges will almost certainly look down upon the use of such language. If there is anything else you can call it on your application, it would look substantially better to colleges. Good luck. Please give me advice as well.</p>

<p>what’s your intended major?</p>

<p>as it stands, Berkeley L&S would be a reach. Berkeley CoE would be super reach.</p>

7

<p>Berkeley L&S !
im majoring in pharmacology… thats why i chose UCSD, cuz of their medical/science programs!</p>

8

<p>my no. 1 university is UCSD, and then berkeley and all… i live near UCSD so i dont want to pay for dorms, etc.
and being vegetarian … food is really really important to keep an eye on. so yeah</p>

<p>cmon people… chance meeeee</p>

<p>I’m going to be going to UCSD in the fall. I think increasing your scores will help you a lot. Last year, when I was in your place, I found an old cc thread with a link to a google doc chart that outlined the ucsd point system. Use that and it will give you an accurate idea. (I was far beyond the projected cutoff, and sure enough I was admitted) good luck!</p>

<p>nicengstar!
umm write. so i did waht ngstar said… calculated my UC score… and you wont believe it… i was 1000 points short. the funny thing was (pause) haha i used the wrong GPA. ised 2.2 instead of 4.2 hahaha… i guess my brain is pretty out from the SAT overdose today… (im in a lot of stress … and I REALLY REALLY want UCSD)</p>

<p>btw. for the UCSD points will learning sanskrit and hindi by myself qualify me for points or is that a LA and Berkeley thing?.. and i have submitted the ELC application, so maybe i will get it? (i hope so…)</p>

<p>and yah… studying for SAT is a no. 1 priority. :)</p>
