<p>your SAT is pretty low for UCSD, but your GPA is above average. I’m thinking that the GPA in addition to your high AP scores may be able to give you a boost. I would consider UCSD a slight reach.
Are you considering UCs that you might have a better chance at, like Irvine/Davis/Santa Barbara?</p>

<p>Yeah I’m definitely applying to UCSB. Thanks for your response!</p>

<p>grr you are my rival… we both want UCSD and we both want pharmacy! haha!

<p>like rosyhours said:

these would be great schools no doubt, and maybe Riverside?</p>

<p>but irvine has a pharmaceutical science major so thats a bonus if you get into irvine!</p>

<p>Alrighty, thanks for your response (:</p>

6

<p>@OP, did you receive ELC? If so, I’d say UCSD is a high match. If not, I’d say it’s a high reach.</p>

7

<p>@JeSuis
he did not receive ELC, his rank is the top 8%… he is qualified on track though… (unless of course i am wrong)</p>

<p>Nope, no ELC for me. :frowning: I did land the top 8% of my class though.</p>
