<p>definitely not a safety, but you have a very good chance. GPA/SAT is a little low from my experience to consider it a safety.</p>

<p>i had similar stats with regards to academics and did not get it - had to appeal. </p>

<p>good luck, and in a year you will realize how silly it is to try to hide your identity from your classmates. high school stats are nothing when you get to college. clean slate for everyone.</p>

<p>Your gpa is too low for sb to be a safety.</p>

<p>the average gpa of ucsb admits for 2007 was 3.97 according to their webpage. So you have a solid chance but I wouldn’t call it a safety.</p>

<p>Also the UC schools don’t read essays the way private schools do. At privates a quirky, entertaining, or well written essay can capture their eye. Not at the UCs. By and large they are reading your essays looking for hardship, leadership, special circumstances. At UCLA, for example, so many kids were treating the essays the way privates expect that they put in a special section on what the prompts really mean.
