<p>So you're saying that I have a 30% chance of getting in UCSD? Thats it?</p>
<p>i would say you have approx a 25%-35% chance of getting admitted to UCSD. I would apply to Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD for reaches or slight reaches, and would apply to UCI, UCSB, UC Davis for safe matches.</p>
<p>slight reach/match</p>
<p>i know people with lower stats than you who got into berkley</p>
<p>dude, ucsd gives a bunch of points for things outside of SAT's and GPA's.</p>
<p>try to rack up as many points as you can to make the cut off.</p>
<p>3.92 GPA, and 1950 SAT already puts you in a good starting position; just look to add points with leadership, volunteering, any personal challanges and you should get accepted.</p>
<p>your stats are very similar to mine; good luck.</p>
<p>It also depends on your intended major. If you're going for science/pre-med/engineering at UCSD, it would be a reach. The acceptance rate for incoming freshmans for fall 2006 is about 30%. And of those 30%, a higher number choose that school than they expected. If you consider the natural inflation of applicants each year and the influx of new studens this year, I expect the acceptance rate to drop even more. Though I could be wrong. Also, it is in my opinion that although they say your race doesn't matter, it still matters, at least a little. Because of affirmative action policy, you are likely to be compared to applicants of your race, not all applicants as a whole.</p>
<p>My recommendation for you if you want to get into UCSD is to take more SAT II subject tests that pertain to your major, retake SAT 1 again and try to get a higher score, and write a kick ass essay. For your major, select "undecided" if you are not going for Bioengineering, CSE, or ECE. That would boost your chance, I imagine.</p>
<p>You're set for UCD, I'd say. Apply to Irvine as well, it's ranked higher now than Davis.</p>
