<p>Great SAT scores and EC’s. The only slight drawback would be the GPA (average for admitted students last year was a 4.07) so while I wouldn’t say you’re 100% in, I still think you have a very good shot.</p>

3

<p>I’d say slight reach, your test scores are great but your GPA is below average. You may not be guaranteed in, but you definitely stand a good chance.</p>

4

<p>thanks everyone. I heard that for UC’s, the essay barely counts as anything. Is this true?</p>

5

<p>The essays dont count in such a way that it can be a “deciding” factor or a huge influence (as opposed to cal/la holistic approach) to your application. Adcoms will merely see that you answered the question and didn’t make it apparent that you tried to screw up. Haha </p>

<p>keep in mind UCSD is on the point system and you better hope your test scores make up some of those lost gpa points. : )</p>

<p>match~~~~~~</p>

7

<p>other than GPA, your stats are almost identical to mine. not too much to worry about.</p>

<p>wow cool. Thanks guys for taking the time to chance me.
Yeah, as of right now, I’m kinda stressing for college and regretting alot of things (not studying) haha</p>

<p>does course rigor for senior year matter? because compared to the majority of seniors at my school, I’m taking a really rigorous schedule</p>
