<p>Here is a link to calculate your UC GPA. You can only use AP classes 10-11th for the extra honor points in the calculation. If you a Full Pay, you will have a better chance for an acceptance however; OOS stats are also higher.</p>

<p>Based on your unweighted, I think UCSB is a Match/High Match.</p>

<p>@Gumbymom thank you very much, this was helpful :smile: </p>

my UC GPA is a 3.75 so I dont know how much that helps my cause
Also my first semester grades are in and I got 4 A’s and 2 B+'s so would that help in any way?

5

UC’s will not consider Senior year grades for admission. Sophomore/Junior year grades get you in but Senior year grades keep you in…

6

@Gumbymom oh ok hopefully the stats that I listed above is somewhat good enough to get me in.

7

Those state should be good enough to get you in.
Good luck,

Another question, do the number of people applying from your state factor in to admissions into UCSB, since there aren’t that many people from my state applying to UCSB.
@NCalRent hopefully they do, I know on March 16th :)>-

For anyone that cares or applied to UCSB, 85,208 people applied this year aha

10

Applicants find out if they got accepted to UCSB on March 16th, UC Berkeley on March 26th (The school I have no chance of getting into), and both UCLA and UC Irvine on March 31st

holy… 85k people damn!! I’m glad I got in LOL

12

@miahun I though decisions come out on the 16th tho, how did u get it so early?

13

@awesomeguy‌ I got an invitation to the reception thing and a Regents Scholarship which means I’m unofficially accepted. ( At the reception they announce your acceptance)

14

When was the reception?

15

Also do people who didnt go to the reception get an email that stated that they got the Regents scholarship, or do I have to wait for 2 more weeks to find out LOL

16

@miahun sorry for the barrage of posts but was there a separate application for the regents scholarship or was that scholarship solely based on your application?

17

The reception didn’t happen yet. It’s starting next week. ( You can only attend if you are invited ).
And I got my Regents scholarship notice through mail. I got it like two days ago or something. And it’s solely based on your application. They look at your test scores. For UCSD I think it was 2200+ SAT, but idk about UCSB. ( I got 2250 on mine.)

Two more days till decisions come out a 3 P.M. pacific
Which for me would be 5 P.M. Central
