<p>I am looking to go to UCSB as an undergrad (looking at economics/accounting, maybe statistics and economics, something that will help me in the future for the business field).
Freshman year, I had decent grades in all honors. Sophomore year, my grades went to crap. I had 2 B's(classes were all honors and I was also in AP Euro which was one of my only B's) and one A. Everything else was C's, D's, and even a few F's. The second semester of freshman year, I took up some heavy drinking habits partially for fun, but mainly to get my mind off of certain circumstances. By sophomore year, I had established a dependency. Junior year has started and I am relatively well off. I am in IB English, APUSH, IB Physics, am retaking Spanish III and Algebra II, and am in an arts class (for the a-g reqs). I have a 1900 SAT score and I believe I should be able to pull no worse than 4 A's and 2 B's (the B's may actually become A's). I am also in a leadership youth group called DeMolay. I've done almost 300 hours of community service. I am in competitive swimming (club and highschool). I have finally stopped with the drinking and it looks like I am getting back on track. What are my chances of getting accepted if I really maintain good grades? Over summer, I plan to do the Early Start summer program at UCSB (STATS and something for Econ) as well as do Pre-Calc/Trig online Next year, I am taking: AP bio, IB English, AP Calc, AP Gov/Econ, AP Art History online, Swimming, and either AP Pyschology or AP Micro/Macro Econ. I will have fullfilled all a-g requirements and recommendations. English is not my first language. Do I have a legitimate chance at being accepted? Should I state my past alcohol problems as an adversity? HELP! c</p>
