<p>Your ECs look good, SAT could probably go up with practice and a few attempts. The GPA doesn’t look competitive though you need to find out how to weight it appropriately. Go here and find your school. It will list all the UC recognized courses. Each AP or Honors course will be flagged in the Honors Type column.

<p>Then go here and use this tool to calculate your GPA. CSU and UC use the same rules.

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Keep in mind that UCSD doesn’t offer a straight business major. I think the closest thing they have is an econ major. I could be wrong, but you might want to check their list of majors.</p>
