<p>I think you have a good chance of being accepted</p>

3

<p>There is no personal statement III. The directions clearly state to only use that space to explain your academic history.</p>

4

<p>@bomerr My bad, I meant for the additional comments section. :p</p>

5

<p>@boby642 thank you, it means alot!! :)</p>

6

<p>What UCs are you applying to? And how does your SAT break down?</p>

7

<p>Nevermind, UCSD… I checked everywhere but the title. Lol. I think you are a match to high match… I think you will get in though. Apply to backups like UCI just in case. Good luck, I wish you luck!</p>

<p>@hope4division1A im also applying to UCLA, UCB, and UCSB :slight_smile:

Math 680
Writing 600

<p>Please delete your personal statements (edit and put other words)! Someone may try and copy them.
If you want to have someone read them, PM the essays to them. DON’T post it publicly.</p>

<p>@harvestmoon thank you, im just panicking right now and idk what to do :/</p>

11

<p>I agree with harvest. You should retake the SATs too. CR needs to get up. Berkeley and UCLA are going to be an uphill battle with your SAT scores, but GL.</p>

12

<p>Any suggestions for CR studying? besides doing a ****load of BB problems and memorizing words…</p>

13

<p>If you can get your SAT/ACT to a 2000+ or a 30+ then I would say low reach for USC, UCB, and UCLA. Otherwise its a match for UCSD as of right now. GOOD LUCK:D</p>

14

<p>I think that you are a match. Good luck!</p>

15

<p>I forgot to put that I am in Top 1% ranking!!</p>

<p>I got in with a full-ride!! :D</p>
