-marching band 4 years
-section leader of the front ensemble (pit)
-jazz band 3 years (lead piano player)
-variety show 4 years (one year I arranged music for an ensemble to play [Idk if that helps])

-sophomore band award: New and upcoming talent

If anyone can chance me for this school that would be amazing!! :D</p>
<p>Calculate your UC GPA weighted, see link:<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>Cal State Apply | CSU;
Both GPA and ACT look low. UCSB tends to be more holisitic in admissions, so writing some good essays may help.
UCSB: Low Reach</p>
<p>Get that ACT up to 30+, then UCSB could be a High Match.</p>
