<p>I think you’ve got a good shot but, the school is so competitive - be sure to have a back up.</p>

<p>Good luck</p>

<p>Wow, we’re almost identical in stats - I’ve never met someone 34/34/34/34 like i got! Same GPA and from the same area. </p>

<p>That being said, I think you have a good shot at UCSD. However, your major, any type of engineering, is difficult. You might have to send in your SAT scores if you plan on sending in SAT IIs since UC’s don’t accept score choice. Your ECs seem more business oriented than engineering for sure. </p>

<p>Good luck to both of us!</p>

<p>I am also applying, with similar stats. I think you have a good chance because when I visited I spoke with an admissions officer. Do consider that many majors are VERY over crowded at UCSD. You could consider applying with a different major and changing it or just tough it out.</p>
