<p>the fact that you are a first generation college student and have a single parent can help a lot!</p>

<p>i’d say cal poly and ucsc are safeties
uci is a high safety
ucd and ucsb low target/target
ucsd high target
ucla and ucb low reach/reach</p>

<p>i think you have a pretty decent shot in all of them though! good luck! and chance back please!

<p>what is your SAT score (CR+M) only?</p>

<p>Also, there is no bio-engineering in Cal Poly, only bio-medical engineering.</p>

<p>Cal will be a reach
UCSC safety
UCLA low reach</p>

4

<p>are you saying that it’s easier to get into ucd and ucsb than ucsd?</p>

Yes, UCSD and UCLA are about definitely the most selective after Berkeley. Davis and Santa Barbara are still terrific schools, but they are not quite as selective.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I graduated from UCSD in BioE. For kicks, I’m just looking back at what it’s like to apply, and giving a helping opinion.</p>

<p>I think your grades and extracurricular commitment are all awesome. great job!</p>

<p>I think for BioE though, you may want to orient most of those extracurriculars toward science and engineering. i did COSMOS at UC Davis, in Biomedical Sciences, and volunteered at a hospital for two summers, for instance. many of my classmates did something similiar, but then again i also know people who didn’t.</p>
