<p>Is the GPA weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>If it's unweighted, just raise your SATs to a lofty 1950+ range, and your chances will be very decent.</p>

[theherder2]

<p>your ap schedule is rediculous. your scores are decent but your gpa is a tad bit on the low end, which is understandable given your high school. but oyama is right just raise your sats up a bit and that will cancel out the lower gpa.</p>

<p>MATCH, i say ur pretty well off since ur the first in ur family to go to college (congrats by the way) your stats fit a ideal ucsd accepty</p>

[alexc]

<p>thanks safewayrules...you officially made by day!!!</p>

[i_am_NIECK_i_am]

<p>i have very similar stats to you. i have higher gpa with a little lower sat. everything else is pretty much the same. the clubs, of course, are different, but overall it's the same. the main difference is that i'm white, but i'm still first gen college. i got in. oh, i also have WAY less AP's than you, but that's only because my school didn't offer them. just make sure you have a really good essay, and you definately have good chances of getting in, and even if you don't get in, you'll get into other UC's for sure.</p>
