Everything looks good. 1900 SATs are just barely above average, and 3.96 GPA is barely above average for this year. You stated that you’re top 5%, so you might as well try and get to be top 4% because ELC students have like a 95% chance of getting in middle-tier UCs regardless of test scores and EC(though they’d look at that to make sure its adequate, which yours are). Though, a problem is that UCSB tried to cut enrollment and instead increased. The yield rate for UCSB is usually calculated as 20% and I read somewhere it reached 23% for this year? Its in another thread in this section. So you can probably bet that admissions for next year would be quite a bit tougher. You seem like you have an amazingly great shot though, so best of luck to you!
