Can I get in to UCSD?

New here so apologies if I break any etiquette.
Also applying to UCLA, UCDavis, UCSB. I’m hoping I can consider UCSB a safety or at least a low match, but I’m starting to doubt that.

Stats:

Freshman:
Honors Pre-Calculus
Football

Sophomore:
AP World – 5
AP Calculus AB – 5
Chem Honors

Junior:
AP US History – 5
AP Calculus BC – 5

Senior (Current):
AP Microeconomics – N/A
AP Psychology – N/A
AP Statistics – N/A
Spanish IV Honors

Straight A’s, so 4.00 non-weighted across the board.
Academic GPA (9-12) = 4.35 W
Acad GPA (10-12) = 4.46
Total GPA (9-12) = 4.29
…I’m not sure which one I’m supposed to tell you guys.

Class rank: 18/441

SAT: 2190 (CR680, M760, W750)

ECs: generally weak. I’m into boxing but I haven’t even signed up at a gym. I did my community service at an animal shelter. It closed down and that was kind of depressing. Most of my ECs are things that are hard to brag about, because I’m kind of an independent person and I like individual self-improvement. I lift weights, read books, learn casual skills like cooking and fashion, do my own laundry and shopping, etc. I know college, in practice, requires independence. But I don’t know if I could leverage this in my favor.

Yet to do my personal statement. I’m a good essay writer, but I won’t have it finished in time to get a counselor to review it. Might need your guys’ help again for that :slight_smile:

P. S. Hoping to major in Biology

Other than UCR/UCM and possibly UCSC, no applicant can consider a UC as a safety due to the competitiveness of these schools.

Your GPA and SAT look great and you are a very qualified applicant so UCSB and UCD are match schools. UCSD/UCLA are probably a High Match but Biology is a very popular major which makes it a tough admit.

Good Luck.
