Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi,
I'm wondering what my chances of getting into SDSU, USD, UCSD, and maybe any other colleges in southern california.. any suggestions?</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.84UW (My school doesn't weight)
SAT: 720V 610M 700W</p>

<p>Courses:</p>

<p>9th Grade:
US History: A
English I: A
Algebra I: A</p>

<p>10th Grade:
Social Science: A+
English II: A+
Geometry: A
Physics I: A+
Spanish I: B+</p>

<p>11th Grade:
Literature I: A+
Algebra II: B+
Lab Biology: A
Spanish II: B+
Guitar I: A+
Music Theory: A</p>

<p>12th Grade:
Literature II: A+
Advanced Mathematics: B+
Guitar 2: A+</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>Volunteered at a wetlands sanctuary for a year tagging and tracking turtles via radio telemetry, and logging salamander activity.</p>

<p>Participated in the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's STAR (Student Training in Aquatic Research) program. I developed and implemented a research project to track fouling organism growth. I got the student's choice award for the presentation I gave in front of 100+ aquatic researchers.</p>

<p>Spent several summers in Central America volunteering to help the Cuna Indians of Panama.</p>

<p>Was on my highschool's swim team for 2 years, with several low level awards.</p>

<p>I'm currently residing in Maryland, so I'm an out-of-stater for all the schools in San Diego. I'm sure that's going to hurt my chances some, but I hope I'll be alright. :]</p>

<p>Thanks,
Charles</p>

<p>what's your intended major?</p>

<p>UCSD: Slight Reach-Reach (oos)
USD: Safety
SDSU: Safety</p>

<p>You should be fine for USD and SDSU. Your stats are well above both of their averages. UCSD out of state is quite tough, but you have a shot. If you can give me your UC GPA, i could better decipher if your chances for UCSD are reach or slight reach. I would also apply to UCLA, UCI, UCSB, Pepperdine and USC if you are looking at other colleges in southern California. Best of luck!</p>

<p>UCLA: Reach (oos)
UCI: Match (oos)
UCSB: Match (oos)
USC: Match-Slight Reach (out of state does not hurt you at USC)
Pepperdine: Safety</p>

<p>I don't know how to calculate my UC GPA.. I searched google for it, but I didn't find any actual instructions on how to do that..</p>

Physics. I don't know if it would be in my best interest to declare that though.. do my chances decrease if I have my major as undeclared?</p>

<p>I don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm re-taking the SAT this saturday. On the practice tests I've taken, I get a 720 math score, so you can probably assume I'll have 720V 720M and 700W, probably. Does that make any difference? </p>

<p>Also, I'm wondering if it's worth it for me to apply to Stanford.. I don't think I have the ECs that are needed though.. :/</p>

<p>Thanks,
Charles</p>
