I also live in state and am first generation college student. Low income makes dif too cuz both ppl i told u about had small incomes for their family sizes. they also live in state and are first generation. which uc’s r u considering? and how many r u applying to? im gonna do only 4 cuz of application fees and stupid governors budget cuts lol. i saw on post once telling this out of state kid he shouldnt apply to a uc cuz of our bad economy rite now. also dont worry about 9-11 gpa. uc’s dont look at 9th, only 10 and 11th. and theres uc gpa which is basically 10-11th weighted but only extra pts for up to 4 years of honors/ap courses.

fyi im thinking about ucla ucb uci and ucsd.
gonna start thread when my sat 2’s come out this week. also i posted my gpa and lack of ec’s on someone else’s thread. he said i should do more activities/sports, get 2100+ on sat, and my gpa is good enuf for all of colleges i posted except maybe ucb.
