<p>Any thoughts or inputs? Thanks</p>
<p>looks bright</p>
<p>4 years varsity tennis? wow. you must be good.</p>
<p>Your SATs are kind of low.</p>
<p>Try boosting your SAT I . Your e/cs aren't that great like you said.</p>
<p>UCSD's admissions are weird (fickle)--but raise your SAT 1 scores def and I think you'll have a good chance.</p>
<p>UCSD: Match</p>
<p>I guess your SAT I score is at about the 50th percentile among UCSD acceptees (according to statistics from past years and using the 3:2 ratio for new SAT to old SAT conversion). Your SAT 2 scores are near the top, and four years of varsity tennis is impressive. The fact that you're a California resident should bolster your chances. UCSD is pretty much a match for you, but if you can raise that SAT score enough to break 2000, I'd say that you're in pretty good shape. I have to work on my SAT 2's... I scored in the lower 600s for two subject tests while scoring 2110 on the SAT I... I know... it's pretty bad.</p>
<p>Yeah.. I'm going to try to break 2000 in October or November.. gotta keep studying.</p>
<p>What I'm concerned about most is my UC GPA... isn't 3.916 a bit low?? I thought UCSD, UCLA, and UCB both only accept students with a 4.0+ UC GPA?</p>
<p>I think you are OK. I just graduated and will be going to UCSD in the fall. My GPA weighted was 4.0 and my SAT scores were low 1250 (old way). SAT II's - US History 660, Math 620.</p>
<p>3.916 is not low. I'm from out-of-state, with a 3.8 UC gpa (what the heck...my HS weighted and unweighted were 4.0)...I'm sure you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Look up the point system for UCSD <a href="http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.ucsd.edu/dev3/info/comreview.html</a> the points system is at the bottom. If your parents are poor or you're first generation in college it really improves your chances.</p>
<p>I'm from a low-income family AND a first generation in college (my brother is at UCDavis though, that doesn't count right?)</p>
<p>So do my chances look good for UCSD? What about Berkeley or LA?</p>
<p>hmm, i actually know some friends with similar stats (well, not with the new SAT but if u split it up...) make it into UCSD UCLA and Berkeley. i think you'll be ok for UCSD, as far as UCB and UCLA goes, i'm not really sure, but UC admissions are sometimes unpredictable. i guess if u can, u can work on your SAT scores, otherwise, the only thing left for u to do is the personal statement. good luck</p>
<p>ummm i was wondering if the first generation to go to college include the ppl in family that didnt graduate but still end up going to community college. Is community college still a college? or do they have to go to a 4 year university to consider it a college</p>
<p>community college is still a college....</p>
