<p>So you know you’re personal statements dont matter when applying to UCSD. The admissions officer only scans it to see if you should get any points in the categories.</p>

<p>Aside from that, you’re strong academically, have good Extracurriculars, leadership, and volunteer going on.</p>

<p>I’d like to say that you’d be a sure thing, but with college admissions you never know how things will go. So I’ll say that I’m 99% sure you’ll get in</p>

<p>Dude you’re so in lol</p>

<p>UCSD’s an easy school to get into. No stress, see you at admit day</p>

4

<p>I’d say you’d make it in. Esp. as an econ major.</p>

5

<p>mapthesould- not exactly true. bio majors and such are much harder.
but for econ, i think youre pretty in</p>

6

<p>i have no idea why you are worried</p>

7

<p>Well I have a really low UC GPA compared to the average UCSD acceptee, and I didn’t think that my SATs/SAT 2s/ECs were going to compensate for it.</p>

<p>I’ve met quite a few ppl with below avg GPAs. You have a very good chance. I would be surprised if you didnt get in. You can always appeal too >_></p>
