<p>Am I just wasting my time & money?</p>

<p>you will have no problem getting into UCSD because its not that difficult.</p>

<p>i agree, you should be able to get into UCSD and BC, good luck</p>

<p>Does a disparity between composite score and single sitting score make a difference?</p>

<p>Your chances are good at BC, Wake Forest, and UCSD. Vanderbilt is iffy, as is USC.</p>

<p>I would use ED/EA if there is a clear first choice school to which you would like to attend most. Also, I would contact a coach at those schools to see if you can be considered an athlete--as you get a bit of a break in admissions. Just a thought.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Depends on major at UCSD, your GPA is considerably below their average. Write a great essay.</p>
