<p>Personally I think because you are instate, and are Asian (although I disagree with race being an advantage, it is) I think you can get into all of those schools. UCLA is a maybe, but I still think you will get in.</p>
<p>Most of the UCs are verging on 50% Asian. Asian, if anything is a disadvantage at UCs. Please don't post things if you really don't know.</p>
<p>Being asian is not an advantage at UCLA or UCSD nd, it's a disadvantage if anything.</p>
<p>UCSB- the easiest for you to get into of the three choices.
UCSD- harder for you to get into compared to UCSB of the three choices.
UCLA- the hardest for you to get into of the three choices.</p>
<p>your GPA is aiight but your SAT scores are sort of low</p>
<p>you have good ECs but UCs factor in statistics more in their decisions than ECs and essays. in fact many of my friends who applied to UCs said they barely even look at letters of rec and essays. even so, i think you're definitely in at UCSB. you stand an okay chance at UCSD but UCLA might be a reach.</p>
<p>I am looking predominantly at small liberal arts colleges like Oberlin, Kenyon, Bard, and Hampshire.</p>
<p>3.6 GPA (my school doesn't weight APs, so this could potentially be a point or two higher)
740 verbal, 650 math, 700 writing
APs: English Composition (5), Physics (4), World History (5), and American History(5)
Extracurriculars: Theater: I obtained leads in all the dramas and supporting roles in all the musicals save two. I obtained one musical lead, and I once was in the chorus. Creative Writing: I have a portfolio. Student Government.</p>
<p>petermw: i think it would be better if you made your own thread</p>
<p>lol yea...y did Petermw use my thread 2 post his stats >.< n does any1 else have anything 2 say about my stats? UCSD n UCLA</p>
<p>Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe your calculations may be a little off.
You have a 3.8333 gpa= 3833 points
and your SAT scores are:
1250, 680, 580, 530- giving you a total of 2415 points...
Now... including the 500 points for 40+ courses this still only gives you about 6700 or slightly over that... Isn't that a little too low for UCSD's academic standards?
Even if you add in all the factors you just mentioned you BARELY make last year's cut of roughly 7500 points.. This is not taking into consideration the fact that this year the<br>
cutoff point bar will more than likely be raised</p>
<p>For some reason it says (or i think it says on the website) that the formula is: SAT 1 + 0.8*SAT2 combined. Theres 100 less applicants this year so i think the cut off point bar would either stay or lower. Plus theres less financial crisis i heard... thanks for input :)</p>
<p>wat do u think...cmpdia?</p>
<p>casperlovesuc's: dear you are mistaken, it is .8*(SAT I + SAT II + SAT II + SAT II)</p>
<p>the max you can get for tests is 3200... .8<em>(1600+2400) = 3200
1600 + .8</em>(2400) gives you 3520</p>
<p>so sorry, but you calculated it wrong. :(</p>
<p>aw...oh well
Iono how accurate that chart is, cuz if it is, itz a kinda bias. Wat about ppl who're involved in sports/clubs/jobs (but not to support family)? do i get any point for that cuz i have lots of that =(
So being extremely negative now... i have 7465 rite on!!! lol</p>
<p>I think that ur both wrong. The way the UCs give you points for SATS is,
(SAT1/2)+ the 3 other SAT 2s.
SAT 2 weighs twice as much as the SAT 1 for UCSD.</p>
<p>cmpdia: i was just going by what <a href="http://henry.sandi.net/college/application/ucsd_application_scoring.htm%5B/url%5D">http://henry.sandi.net/college/application/ucsd_application_scoring.htm</a> said </p>
<p>but i saw your equation before and was wondering if that's really how it's done? if it is, that would be more helpful to me lol</p>
<p>yea... that thing says SAT I and SAT II x 0.8 so i think awakenedream is rite
seems like UCSD SAT average isn't that high...only 1200s for girls last year.
My friend got in UCSD last year w/ a 3.9 n girls league n 1100s sat. so not 2 bad.</p>
<p>btw wat r ur scores?</p>
<p>bump :( i need more inputs</p>
<p>:( bump (sorry but i'm desperate for UCSD chance)</p>
