<p>UCSD runs a point system and no one knows you better than you so give it a try and if you have questions on certain parts, ask and I'm sure many people out there will help you out. Link to the system is below. Aim for 7600 at least if you're in-state.</p>

<p>i think you sound very qualified, the only thing that could be a problem is your gpa is a little low for being weighted but probably your other stuff will make up for it.</p>

<p>i'd say very fair chance.
what's your unweighted though?</p>

<p>i had 3.8 unweighted, 2040 sat, 400+ comm. service hrs. and i managed to get in. It does help though that I'm a poor inner city kid =) So your chances look really good, stats are better than mine. Good luck!</p>
