<p>Hey guys, I thought it'd be much more accurate to ask for my chances on the college forum then the overcrowded, crazy*ss "What are my Chances" forum haha.</p>

<p>Gender: M
Ethnicity: Asian</p>

<p>SAT: 2310
SAT II's: Math II (800), Chem (750)
AP's: Chem (4), Psych (5), Stats (5)</p>

<p>GPA (W):
10th- 3.0(3.17), 3.33(3.5)
11th- 2.8(3.67), 3.5(4.33)</p>

<p>Senior Year Schedule:
AP English (W)
Govt/Econ
AP Physics B (W)
Finite/Discrete Math (W)
AP Calculus AB (W)
Digital Imaging</p>

<p>EC's:
-volunteering ~150 hours
-track and field 9th, 10th grade
-football 12th grade (Varsity)
-DECA States Comp(ranked 8th place)</p>

<p>Probably gonna apply for a community college course over summer as well. Will my test grades overshadow the GPA issues (esp. considering that my courses are pretty difficult and there's a upward trend)?</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>P.S. Heard the parties here are sicccck 8)</p>

<p>unless you mess up senior year. I give you 100% acceptance into UCSB</p>

<p>Hey, i got accepted to UCSB but i got a D in my junior year. Would i still have to make up that D before i sen in my transcripts?</p>

<p>Thanks Jaylower! Sounds good haha.</p>

<p>@Anongirl94: They still accepted you with that D, so I believe that UCSB won’t care either way. It might look better if you make it up before sending in transcripts, but it’s April already - a little late for that… >.>
Check with your school, specifically. A D is considered not passing a class, and if you don’t pass all of your graduation requirements, you won’t get your HS Diploma. If the class that you got the D doesn’t take away from your grad. requirements, you should be fine.
I highly advise you to talk to your counselor, just in case. Words typed by my fingers don’t have the power of law - sadly - so I could be completely wrong about this.</p>

<p>Hey,
I just got in. I had almost exactly the same situation as you (except i got 800 on chem and 750 on math II haha) - top top test scores but mediocre grades. I’m into the honors program so I assume i was in by a wide margin. With pretty much the same numbers I’m sure you’ll be fine as long as your essay doesn’t involve discussing your aptitude for larceny or something.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback! Did you apply to any other UC’s? If you could tell me the ones you got accepted to it’d be great haha.</p>

<p>whats your major? engineering majors have a it a bit tougher at ucsb, just so you know.</p>

<p>The kid has much better SAT credentials than I do, and I’m Honors Comp. Eng. His second semester junior year GPA is also better than mine is right now as a senior (and I’m getting the best grades I’ve ever gotten in my life right now).</p>

<p>He’s most likely going to get in.</p>
