Chances of getting into UCSB?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi I have a 3.8 unweighted, and a 4.14 weighted. I received a 28 on the ACT with writing and a 1840 on the SAT. However so far in high school I have taken quite a few honors courses, but not many APs with the exception of Senior year where I am currently taking 4 APs. I am of asian descent and come from California.
Oh and I've taken the Subject Test for:
Math I: 600
Literature: 600
I have held officer positions in:
French Club
Chess Club
Fashion Club
and Photography Club
I also actively volunteer and take part in a myriad of other clubs</p>

<p>My awards and achievements include:
Scholastic Achievement in a Foreign Language (French)
Published Author (Poetry)
PTA Reflection 1st Place Winner (Photography), and City Honorary Mention
I have also started a successful local clothing brand that has had widespread success
In addition, I have started my own stock portfolio and have in the 5 months so far, generated well over $14,000</p>

<p>Jobs:
Freelance Graphic Designer
Self Employed at my clothing company
Assisted Photographer for a company
Photo Editor for a company (Retoucher)</p>

<p>I applied to UCSB for Economics and alternatively their Art School
If you don't mind, I would also like to know my chances for UCI!</p>

<p>There you have it, feel free to be blunt and honest!</p>

<p>UCSB: Low Match
Good luck! Only a few more days</p>

3

<p>Is Low Match a bad thing?</p>

4

<p>UCSB: Low match (if 4.14 is your UCGPA as well)
UCI: Match</p>

<p>Both schools are becoming increasingly selective…</p>

5

<p>Low Match is better than a Match? and yes 4.14 is my UCGPA as well</p>

6

<p>Low Match means you are a better applicant than most of the people who are admitted. Your chances are pretty good at UCSB.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply!</p>

<p>Would someone please chance me too? Thank you!</p>

<p>Hello! I was hoping that someone would please chance me. I want to go to UCSB so badly, it’s my dream, but I don’t know if my stats are any good.</p>

<p>UC GPA: 3.58
SAT: 660 reading, 610 math, 740 writing (2010 Composite)
(highest sitting 660 reading, 580 math, 740 writing (1980)</p>

<p>i have very good extracurriculars and i think my essays are good. i go to a very hard private school. i got As and a lot of B+s sophomore year (unfortunately those are 3s for the UCs and not 3.3s), but basically all A-s junior year and those count as 4s. </p>

<p>I took no APs junior year (just honors, and UC don’t recognize our honors or give us any weighted reedit for them) and 2 APs (stats and human geography) senior year</p>

<p>hey what stocks do u invest in? like what sector?</p>

<p>What’s with people starting their own businesses and getting published? Is there anyone who isn’t a genius or prodigy on this forum?</p>

<p>You have a great chance of getting in!</p>

<p>@UCSBGAUCHOS I think you have a pretty good chance depending on your essays and extra curriculars
@futurefocused My first rule of investing is to never tell people what you invest in :P, but I will tell you it was in mobile technologies.
@ironcardinal I was not aware that most people did that haha but regardless the fact that the school has 76,000 applicants this year, and that economics is impacted is enough to make me nervous!</p>

<p>I’m sure you have more economic experience than most of the applicants. That’s going to look good for your major.</p>
