You have good chances at both; however, your gpa is a little low for both schools. Also I happened to look at one of your old posts that said that you had a suspension due to drug use/possession this is going to be a huge negative in your application. Other than that it is a high match/match for both.

3

@72soop UC’s did not ask for any suspension information, so I did not report this on my UC application. Thanks!

4

low matches for both. :slight_smile: your stats are exemplary. This might interest you: http://universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/admissions-source-school

^^shows admit rate and gpa of the applicants from your high school for all campuses

If this is of any help, I also received a supplementary questionnaire from UCSD, although I accidentally submitted it before I could finish entering all my senior grades.

6

any other insight would be very helpful!

7

Overall, your stats are good if not great, particularly for both of the schools you want to get into. Chances are high of you getting admitted into both of them, judging from my knowledge of both schools.

8

Thanks for the help!

9

Your chances are excellent. Gpa is sloghtly low but sat makes up for it.
Ecs are really good.
I expect you to be accepted at both. If your essays were also good, i have no doubt.

Thanks for your help everyone!
