<p>I think you are definitely in for Davis and a match for SD.</p>

3

<p>i think youre in to wherever you want to be, given you have a decent personal statement. this is ucsd forum tho</p>

4

<p>Davis = Safety</p>

<p>SD = Target/in</p>

5

<p>when a good uc like davis is a safety, i hope you end up going exactly where you want to go</p>

6

<p>oh whoops! i wrote davis instead of SD haha</p>

7

<p>you will get into both, good luck</p>

8

<p>bump! i’d like more opinions :)</p>

9

<p>Hopefully you applied to UCLA and Berkeley. With strong personal statements you would be really competitive and have a solid shot of being admitted.</p>

<p>Davis and SD matches.</p>

10

<p>Great! Thanks a bunch</p>

11

<p>BUMPPPP</p>

<p>are my sat II’s high enough? i keep reading people on year with 780s and 800s and it makes me worried!</p>

12

<p>SAT IIs hardly matter</p>

13

<p>Wait, SAT II’s hardly count?!</p>

14

<p>Dude…why are you going for SD?</p>

<p>Aim for UCB and UCLA.</p>

15

<p>haha thanks guys… any more opinions?</p>

16

<p>i know numerous people who received low SAT II scores who made it in UCB + UCLA. you will be fine. I think its mainly your GPA and SAT I score that holds the most weight.</p>

17

<p>You should be in to Davis and in to SD as well. Your stats would probably get you into UCLA or UCB as well.</p>

18

<p>Dude don’t even worry about your SAT II scores, GPA/ACT or SAT is the big thing they’re looking for. I actually read that the UC’s aren’t going to require them anymore starting in 2012.</p>

19

<p>What major did u list for UCSD? If it’s impacted it’ll be a lot harder to get into.
If not, then I think you’re high match/low reach. ehhh. nah you’re high match</p>

20

<p>my SAT and SAT2 were lower than yours. I got in a few years ago</p>

<p>SAT2 = math2 - 600 and history 450
SAT = 1940</p>

<p>you should be fine. you got a good shot</p>
