Hello,

I live in San Diego and am a senior in high school. I applied for multiple UCs including UCSD all for their engineering schools (Electrical Engineering major). I was wondering if I still have a good(ish) chance to get into UCSB with a relatively low sat score.

Stats:
GPA : 3.9 UW, 4.2 school GPA, 4.36 UC GPA
SAT: 1290 (610 RW, 680 M)

Extracurricular:
Engineering Academy
Engineering Internship
Robotics
Study Abroad in Germany
5 AP classes and some honors
Secretary of NHS at my school
CSF
Dual Enrollment
Club Sports

Although UC’s are GPA focused your SAT is just above the 25th percentile and since Engineering is highly competitive, you should be at or above the averages for the best chances. Average for Engineering admits last year was around a 1400 SAT.

I would say 50/50 and best of luck.
