what are my chances of getting into UCSD?
intended major: Business Psychology
Your UC GPA puts you below the average for UCSD but your ACT is on target. Your HS course rigor is a bit lacking but since you are OOS and a full pay applicant ($65K/year to attend with no financial aid) then you might have a slightly higher chance. I would say at least a 50/50 chance.
Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 (capped weighted) and not major specific:
UCB: 12.6%
UCLA: 11.7%
UCSD: 38.7%
UCSB: 53.6%
UCD: 56.5%
UCI: 52.1%
UCSC: 75.7%
UCR: 90.1%
UCM: 96.1%
Your personal statements are very important. Last year many high-achieving students did not get into UCSD because of their statements.
I got into UCSD with a 3.7, 1010 SAT, 22 ACT (very low) but extraordinary personal statements and amazing extracurriculars. And a full ride. And a capped major (Neurobiology, 1st choice)
Let me know if you have any questions.
You are good with full pay? That can’t be a disadvantage.
