<p>Well so far I have been accepted into UC Riverside, and rejected from UCSD (inevitable I guess!). My intended major is physics, and I'm in-state if that matters.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.56UW, 3.83W (Soph > Junior T_T)
SAT: 2110- 770 Math 730 Reading 610 Writing
SAT II: 730 Math IIC, 750 US History (720 Physics)</p>

<p>APs Taken: US History, European History
APs Currently Taking: Calc BC, Biology, Computer Science, Microeconomics
Taken some honors as well</p>

<p>60-70 volunteer hours at Elementary school.</p>

<p>At first I thought I was a match, but after seeing how competitive it is this year I'm not so optimistic anymore :/</p>

<p>yeah your most likely a high match</p>

<p>your sat scores are really good and i guess will balance out your e/c and gpa
but nobody really knows how competitive it will be this year</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance! your sats are extremely good and i personally think that will help make up for your gpa! UCSB has a different way of acceptiong students (so ive heard) they give points for each thing on an application i.e. good gpa POINT good sat POINT good ec’s POINT and by the end of the application reading if your points amount up to a certain amount youre in! Good luck to you : ) chance me back?</p>

<p>IMO your definitely in, your great scores should make up for your sub-par GPA</p>

5

<p>I think you’ve got a great shot. My test scores were only slightly better than yours (yours are well above average), and your GPA is much better than mine was (you’re just below the average it looks like.)</p>

<p>Do you have any ECs?</p>

<p>Think you’re a match. You have a good shot, but admissions are harder this year so it’s tough to be sure. Good luck! :)</p>
