<p>UCSD has a fairly cut and dried point system, although it’s hard to know what next years “cut off” will be.
Why should your freshman GPA matter?</p>

<p>because i had D’s on my transcript. When looking at this colleges will see a huge improvement, and hopefully they view it as a positive. And do you know where to find UCSD’s point system rubric? I can’t seem to find it ANYWHERE on the web</p>

<p>Get those test scores up if at all possible. Your ECs are good, but your GPA is a bit lacking. Your test scores will make or break you. Good luck, work hard, and I hope to see you here next year!</p>

<p>UCSD’s admission is based on a point system so as long as you have the appropriate amount of points, you’re in. Use the chart to calculate it.</p>

<p>Oh, and apply for an impacted major if you’re considering it. You’re admitted in the school first, then your major, so worst case scenario you get in undeclared.</p>

<p>omg thank you guys soo much!
damn though, my score is a 7600… do other ucs use the same point system?</p>

<p>I think UCSD’s is considered the most cut and dried, but I think UCD has something similar.</p>

<p>UCLA and Cal definitely don’t do this. I think that’s why they call theirs “comprehensive review”</p>

<p>BTW, looks like that estimate in the link came very close to the 2010 cutoff.</p>

Wonder what the estimate is this year.</p>
