Chances. Will chance back

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Okay so here is the whole lay down. </p>

<p>I live in CA and am planning on applying to UCSD, Cal Poly Slo and UCSB for civil engineering. I know as a girl they give out a lot of scholarship and such but as far as my grades how likely am I to get in? I have a 4.08 GPA for 9-11 but 4.2 for 10-11 because my freshman year was bad. I got a 4.6 last year and hope my senior year also brings me up. I have taken the SAT once and got a 1850 but will probably retake it. I have played 4 years of varsity basketball and am in FCA and president of environmental science club. I am only 67 out of 640 in my class. As far as personal statement and life I have had it a little rough because both my parents are alcoholics and I think I will get alot of income help since we make under 60 thousand a year, but as far as academic how likely am I to get in and to also get financial help? Also if you have any other suggested schools please tell.</p>

<p>As of right now all of these schools are high matches for you. Since you have an explanation for less than stellar grades and an upward trend in GPA, you should have a pretty good chance, especially if your personal statement is written well. Also, women in engineering are rare so you might have an upper hand. I would suggest retaking the SAT, but good luck!</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>I would agree with epicdude17. All are high matches with your stats. However, you unique situation will increase those chances to some extent. Women in engineering are rare. but it is also much harder to get into cal poly as an engineering major. The upward trend is good. Write a very good personal statement and you should have a solid shot! I would retake the SAT and try out the ACT. Some people are better at the ACT.</p>
