<p>I think you have a good shot at UCLA/UCB. You can probably calculate your score for SD since their admission is purely formulaic, and I'd consider SB to be a safety.</p>

<p>satchelpaige20,</p>

<p>UCB: match
UCLA: match
UCSD: safe match
UCSB: safety</p>

<p>stats are average for UCB/UCLA admitted pool, but your extracurricular accomplishments are good and writing a good essay is more beneficial than many think for UC admissions. good luck!</p>

<p>jyancy: You can probably calculate your score for SD since their admission is purely formulaic,</p>

<p>how do u do that? i wanna try calculating my chances. anyway im kinda worried cus my wieghted gpa is not even over 4.0. everyone knows that UCs cap weighted classes at 8 semesters (4 AP or H) right?</p>

<p>UCSD's'formula': <a href="http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>but i believe it's for Fall 2005 freshmen, meaning its last year's.
nonetheless, it still contains useful info for you `06 applicants. =]</p>
