Alright, so honestly I’m not really a competitive student at all. I just really wanna go there but didn’t ever do anything to work for that.
Major: Aerospace engineering
SAT: 1380 (740 reading) (640 math)
College GPA: 4.2
Don’t have any extracurriculars but my college counselor says my personal statements are extremely well written.
If it helps to know, I’m in a private school, in a class of 24 not-too-competitive seniors. I’m pretty sure only three of us are applying to UCSD.
Forgot to mention, taking ALL IB classes, six of em. Probably only gonna take 3 tests though.
However, engineering majors should be expected to be more selective than the school overall, so there is a risk that you could be admitted to UCSD but not your desired major. If you enroll in that case, it may be difficult to change into your desired major later.
