<p>I know my ECs aren't very good and GPA is below UCSD's average, but what do you think of my chances at getting in here are?</p>

<p>Match/VERY slight reach</p>

3

<p>based on the info you gave, SD is a reach but im just going by what you gave. You'll get 2864 points for your SATs (SAT I + SAT II + SAT II * .8) and 3920 pts for GPA. That gives you 6784. 50 hours of volunteering wont get you many pts, for sure less than 100. The violin could get you a lot of points (up to 300) but you have to have done something incredible with it.</p>

4

<p>i think you're in, you have a really great chance, esp. since so many people with lower stats than u do got in.</p>

5

<p>Besides GPA, you have better stats than me. I got in. Make of that what you will.</p>

6

<p>yeah, im just a bit worried about my ECs. hoboknifefight (and others), what ECs did you have?</p>

7

<p>I'd say match. Most likely you're in, unless the competition rises a notch this season.</p>

<p>Did you have any leadership? Or any particular interest/focus?</p>

<p>I can pull up UCSD's point system rubric for you. Email me @ <a href="mailto:diana.seung@gmail.com">diana.seung@gmail.com</a> if you're interested; I could forward you a copy then.</p>

<p>pccht- I didn't have any ECs.</p>

9

<p>I'd say match. You're GPA is slightly lower than the average. But, you're SAT scores are good. It would've been better if you had more ECs/a leadership position.</p>
