<p>Be sure your leadership roles are two HUGE leader roles. President of ASB and captain of a sports team are huge. Being a secretary of NHS isn’t that big of a deal. Your community hours need to be 200 hours within a two year span to get the full set of points. Otherwise, you have a pretty decent chance. Just improve that GPA.</p>

<p>You live in San Diego, right? If you went to a school like Morse or Lincoln I think you might get extra points for going to a school in the lower 40& tier, giving you an extra set of points (not sure exactly what schools–ask your counselor), and if your family makes under $60,000, then you might get even more points.</p>

<p>I don’t think many people have commented because your post is a bit ambiguous. What classes did you take? Can you give us more information about your extra-curriculars? What SAT II’s did you take? Did you take a lot of honors/AP classes? Ethnicity/gender/etc?</p>

<p>Should’ve included that in your original post :stuck_out_tongue:
After your second post, you seem like an extremely good candidate.
I’d say you’re in. You have strong SAT II scores in subjects pertinent to BioE</p>

<p>BioE’s heavily impacted. There’s no guarantee, so make sure you write good essays.</p>

<p>thanks guys!</p>

<p>i want to hear more opinions on this</p>

<p>First of all, the applicant’s choice of major does not enter into addmissions decisions so the fact that a major is impacted does not change the chances of admission although the applicant may be admitted to a second choice major or as undeclared. Secondly, the quality of the essay is irrelevant at UCSD. To be a “good” essay for UCSD, the essay should reference life circumstances that add points to the formula. The writing quality of the essay is specifically excluded from consideration.</p>

<p>i had the same-ish stats and got in a couple years ago, but not as a bioE major. (~4.2, 2120, 800/780, but less major leadership and no special circumstances)</p>
