<p>Overkill for SD in general, but could vary if you are applying for engineering. Are any top privates in your sights?</p>

3

<p>I'm applying arts and letters. And yes, I'm going to apply to some privates as well as UCLA and Berkeley</p>

4

<p>you'll totally get in
your SATs are amazing</p>

<p>bump again</p>

<p>aww crap. My overall GPA after this year might end up being a 3.4 UW, 3.77 UC. Am I screwed?</p>

7

<p>3.41 UW, 3.77 UC, 4.05 W, 2330 SAT I, 790 for both SAT II's</p>

<p>In at UCSD, No Cal, No UCLA. Just a thought. Class of 2008.</p>

8

<p>Not necessarily. Make sure you have volunteer hours up to 100 from 9-12 to get 150 points. The number of a-g is high to get 500 points. For UCSD, SAT and GPA sometimes are not the whole picture.</p>

</p>

<p>I believe it's for semesters.</p>

13

<p>U need good gap</p>

<p>this year's UCLA avg was 4.3 (something like that)</p>

<p>can u believe that?? -___-'
(don't know about UCSD though)</p>

14

<p>well....my only advice is that if you are a computer, you should stop all the downloadin.</p>

15

<p>Yeah UCLA's average GPA was a 4.34 this year (4.16 UC). I know the average UCSD UC GPA was a 4.06, but I'm not sure about the total weighted GPA.</p>

16

<p>huh, well I used the formula hing to calculate my score. It's about 8000. Is that enough?</p>

17

<p>It should be. In the last few years it was around 7500+. Make sure you do the application in such a way that adcom don't miss your EC's and activities. In the past, they have made numerous mistakes.</p>

18

<p>How would I structure it then?</p>

19

<p>I don't know but the UC application interface is very limiting. There is not a lot of room to expand your activities and you may think it's not important to put something. Just make sure you load the activities list in the Additional section.</p>

20

<p>write a killer essay too..with your ec's it could definitely be something amazing that sets you out differently than everyone else </p>

<p>dont wait too long to think about your essay either, the deadline sneaks up on you</p>
