<p>get your test scores up to improve your chances</p>

<p>Your UC GPA is a little low but if you keep up with all of your ECs and do well in your senior year I think you stand a good chance of acceptance.</p>

4

<p>Up your test scores (to be on the safer side.)</p>

<p>Otherwise, admissions, truth be told, is a roll of a die. Especially among the mid-tier UC’s (UCSB, UCI, UCD.)</p>

<p>Alright, thanks for the input guys! </p>

<p>One more question:
I broke my finger a week before lacrosse tryouts and was not able to tryout for varsity this year but was moved up to varisty from JV (was the captain of JV) at the end of the year. Will I be able to tell colleges that I played at the Varsity level or will it show up on my transcript as only JV, and will this make a difference?</p>

<p>I think you should just tell colleges that you were on varsity… heh</p>
