Chances at ucsd

<p>UC GPA: 3.65 (this is what kills me)
SATI: 1370 (retakin in dec, hoping for 1400+)
iic: 780
chemistry: 710
writing: 690
by the end of school, 6 ap classes, 3's and 4's on all of them
good essays that show my passion for independent research</p>

<p>ECS:
Soccer (borderline d1 prospect, although I havent signed anywhere yet)
Asian Club Secretary
Math Olympiad state participant
60 hours of community service
single parent, low income
Questbridge scholar</p>

<p>what about the other uc's?</p>

<p>who knows, i don't think it'll happen at Berkeley.</p>

<p>I'd say you have a good shot at all UC's except for B and LA (both reaches). GPA is gonna hurt you, but you have some nice SAT scores (especially IIs). I have almost identical numbers to you so I hope I'm right. :) Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>you did list your single parent/low income thing under special circumstances, right?</p>

<p>UCSD will evaluate your application by computer...gpa/satI will hurt you, so your computerized score probably won't be high enough...but the exc and essays should give you a sufficient boost after the computer round to give you a good chance of getting in</p>

<p>I'm applying to UCSD as well, but my situation is kind of your reverse...</p>
