<p>In state student
W GPA : 4.6

SAT: 1980 (retaking one more time), also taking ACT

<p>EC's: Not that much, but the usual CSF, NHS, Art and Architecture Club
Service: Not that much, but Key Club, School-wide recycling club, and serving food to homeless</p>

<p>Thanks, I think UCSD would be my 4th overall choice behind Michigan, Rice, and Stanford</p>

<p>Decent SAT scores, slightly below average extracurriculars, but really good GPA. I think that will get you in (:</p>

3

<p>what gpa do they use, because a 3.75 uw isnt great, and the high W gpa just shows that you have more ap’s available, that said, the weighted aaverage gpa is 4.08 and the average SAT is 1960 so i think your in for sure, unless your engineering is impacted then it may be slightly more challenging.</p>

4

<p>They use your weighted UC GPA.</p>

5

<p>nicholep is right. Your UC gpa is probably a lot lower now that i see it.</p>

6

<p>UCSD does not give points for CSF, but you should put it on if you are applying to other schools uc’s included.</p>

7

<p>ucsd gives points if you are an officer in CSF, right?</p>

8

<p>@mccormickt12
Yeah, UCSD will give you points.</p>

9

<p>What is weighted UC GPA?
And since it uses that UC GPA, does that mean my chances are worse and now maybe UCSD will be a reach?</p>

10

<p>Your weighted UC GPA is your Sophmore and Junior year GPA, and you add an extra point for every AP/Honors class you took. 4.6 GPA is great.</p>

11

<ol>
<li>disregard freshman and senior year</li>
<li>take all the a-g courses you have and add them up with 4 being an A, 3 a B, 2 a C, 0 for D and F</li>
<li>add one point for each AP or UC-approved honors course up to 8 points</li>
<li>divide by the total number of classes you used to calculate your total</li>
</ol>

So I think your definition is more accurate</p>

<p>I think the cap is 4.5</p>
