<p>THANKS GUYS</p>
I think you stand a pretty decent chance at UCSB, that is regarding you get at least a 1900 on your SAT. However, they might look at your grade in AP Bio and see that you got a B. Also, you have taken a rigorous schedule. What are your AP scores. If you get a 4 or 5 on bio I would send that to say that you are good at Biology. you have decent E.C but those enrichment programs aren’t really much to put on because all they are is just more studying and not really an E.C. good luck!!!</p>
