<p>My essays will be very good , I consider myself a very good writer. Letters of recommendation hopefully will be good, trying to get one from my College COunselor, AP Calc AB teacher, and maybe my Chemistry or Journalism Advisor (whose also the AP Eng lit teacher).</p>

<p>Jesus your SAT1 is pretty bamf in my opinion. And if your as good of an essay writer as you said you are, i wouldn't count out CAL and UCLA. Others on here may laugh but one person at my school had similar stats to yours. She got into CAL. Everyone was surprised including her own brother. Give it a shot. haha
All I know is
Riverside, Merced, and SC are in a safety zone area for you.</p>

<p>ohhh rank : (haven't seen it since my last report card) 20 or 30 ish out of 698</p>

<p>Heh. Maybe LA, but i'm not a "for chance" person. I'd hate getting rejected rawr. and do you think my chances for UCSD are OK? i got 2 C's my junior year (really brought me down), cuz they were tough classes and i was burned out, but i'm studying hard for my SAT 1's...hopefully go up 40-50 pts</p>

<p>fuhdge...i'm a guy...the eff? i know only one guy who "rawrs". and it ain't cute. o_O </p>

<p>2 C's though..it cant be THAT bad can it? ok maybe not UCSD , what about UCSB and UCI</p>

<p>Well JexteLox, tell me this. Who does like being rejected? you have a shot at UCSD for sure.
Im just saying I'd rather apply and get rejected instead of not applying and knowing have a decent shot of getting in</p>
