<p>Way too many people from my school with 3.0~/<1700 scores got into Riverside and Santa Cruz. I think you're already a match for the lower tiers.</p>
<p>alexc how did you calculate 7369 pts with a 3.2 GPA, 1700 SATI and 760/660 SATII?</p>
<p>that seems highly unlikely.</p>
<p>• GPA: 3.2 x 1000= 3200
• EXAMS: 1700 + 760 + 660 x 0.8= 2496
• COURSES: 43 courses 9th grade through 12th grade= 500
• INCOME: <60,000= 150
• PARENTAL EDUCATION: High school education or less= 300
• LEADERSHIP: 300 (President of two clubs, Co-chair of Amercian Red Cross San Francisco youth board, Co editor in chief of school's literary magazine)
• VOLUNTEER: American Red Cross (ARCBA Board of Directors, Leadership Development Camp and many Bay Area Red Cross volunteer events all equal more than 600 hours in the last two years)= 300
• SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLD: 250
=7496 TOTAL POINTS
*its actually 7496, i miss wrote before.</p>
<p>ohh, i see.</p>
<p>alexc, i think with all your personal challenges like income, parental education, single parenting and your outstanding volunteer work, you actually have a good shot of getting in already.</p>
<p>kind of odd that since ucsd gives so many points for these personal challenges, you could get into ucsd but could easily get rejected from uci, ucd and ucsb.</p>

<p>-i have never ever heard of anyone getting into ucsd with a 3.2 and 1700, period. i have never even heard of someone getting into ucsd with under 3.5, even with good sat's. but again, if you feel you have a shot apply, i could be wrong. remember their is a reason that the average admit has a 4.04 and a 1950 sat. if people could get around this by doing ec's and such, the averages would be significantly lower, with everyone doing tons of ec's. but who knows, best of luck!</p>
