<p>UC GPA: 3.7/3.8 W as of now (upwards trend; 4.2W right now)</p>
<p>SAT I: 2220 (760 M, 680 CR, 790 W</p>
<p>Classes:
Freshman year: three honors
Sophomore year: two honors, one ap
Junior year: 2 Aps, 1 honors (AP Bio + AP Chem) <- light schedule because i simply did not see the point in taking apush and there were scheduling errors that could not be fixed. (budget cut -> counselor fired -> school's fault? )
Senior Year: 4 APs</p>
<p>Rank:
Top 20% possibly lower ;_; but that's because our school offers classes like math 3, which the majority of people take and ace</p>
<p>ECs:
-own several businesses making thousands a year
-own several websites making thousands a year
-70 hours of community service (still growing, i'm a junior)
-4 years varsity track
-nonprofit (attempting to found, still working on it)</p>
<p>Essays:</p>
<p>Meh, I heard for UCs this doesn't matter. It'll emphasize my passion for what I do (the businesses+websites)</p>
<p>Major: Comp Sci (any advantage cause i'm female? :D)</p>
<p>I can’t tell you if you’ll get in or not, but you should know that</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Major doesn’t matter for UCSD. You’re admitted to the school before you’re admitted to the major, and only Bio majors are impacted. </p></li>
<li><p>UCSD doesn’t have a business major. We have a Management Science program, but it’s really not the same. You seem like you’re business inclined. </p></li>
<li><p>Essays don’t really matter for UCSD. They do for UCLA and Cal. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>As for your chances: UCSD uses a point system, the link to which you can probably find by googling. Just crunch your numbers, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of where you stand. Just from looking at your stats, though, I’d say you have a pretty decent chance.</p>
<p>No, the point system is for admissions. If you have more than whatever the cutoff is that year (it was around 7800 last year, I think, but smart money says it’ll go up) then you’re in. </p>
<p>I’d be pretty conservative in applying it, though.</p>
<p>uncapped gpa - 3700-3800 points (lets say 3700 just in case i screw up XD)</p>
<p>Tests-assuming 750 on subject tests: 2976</p>
<p>Classes beyond minimum - 500</p>
<p>special talent/leadership (owning business + websites): 300? i dont know t.t</p>
<p>Community/volunteer - 300</p>
<p>Special challenges (grandpa died?)- 50?? but i dont even know where to put it on the app ;_;</p>
<p>without the special talent/leadership i’m not at 7800 D: with it, if i completely screw up this year, i’ll be at 7776. if i don’t, ill be at 7876</p>
<p>to the OP. i would get some more volunteer hours also. it would look nice on the app to have more hours… shoot for at least a 101, and if you want 201!</p>
<p>i got in with an even lower gpa and higher sat so you’ll be fine. and i did nothing of the sort: running my own business, etc. although judging by your attitude toward UC essays, you probably won’t get into UCB or UCLA (I know you didn’t ask, but I’m just saying). So… welcome to UCSD? lol</p>
