<p>Volunteered as a tutor in an official tutoring program in library</p>

<p>Hey UCman1. I would say you are a match for UCSB, though definitely not a shoe-in. Your test scores are certainly above average, but your GPA is significantly lower than the 4.1 median for SB. I would assume that your test scores would help to counterbalance the negative impact your GPA may have.</p>

<p>Hmm how about my ECs. Do they also make up for my gpa?</p>

<p>I probably wouldn’t put it under safety school but you have really good chances. I think those test scores will help balance out your GPA. Also, have good essays!</p>

<p>UC’s don’t really look at your ECs. It’s mostly your test scores and GPA.</p>

6

<p>your SATs are high but your GPA is too low. UCs focus primarily on GPA, evidence is the low SAT averages for all UCs</p>

<p>I know that ill be able to write a really strong essay. Any other opinions? I’m really worries my gpa is gonna break me.</p>
