<p>..........</p>

<p>Have you been recruited for any tae kwan do sports at these various colleges? That's pretty amazing. Your GPA is not amazing or anything, but you seem to be quite the athlete.</p>

12

<p>yea you should have applied to the top top colleges. You have crazy ECs</p>

Cal or LA."</p>

<p>--^^WHAT? Check the admission stats for UCSD and Cal Poly SLO. The posters SAT is just barely above the average admit for UCSD and his GPA of 3.625 is over .4 below UCSD's average admit's of 4.04. "In at all schools, easy." That is some horrible advice. UCSD is at best a slight reach, likely a reach. Cal Poly SLO is also difficult to gain admission too. Its avage SAT's are around a 1900 and GPA of around 3.9. Even with the posters ec's, Cal Poly SLO is at best a match.</p>

14

<p>UCSD: Slight reach</p>

<p>You should get into the others. How about applying to UCSB and UCD?</p>

15

<p>UCSD - Reach (low GPA, bad SAT II)
UCR - Safety</p>
