Do you think I can get into UCSD?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - San Diego
1

My SAT score is 1450
My GPA is around A- for unweighted

I’m Korean, interested in becoming a veterinarian, and I’m going for biological major which they RECOMMEND me to send math II subject test and a science
Here is the worst thing. My SAT IIs are sooo bad. Math is 670 and chem i have 630… I can’t really retake them :frowning:

I took/am taking several AP courses:
AP 11 English
AP World
AP US history
AP BC calc
AP Stats
AP biology
AP chemistry
AP gov
AP macro

I double accelerated in math and BC AP was 4, stats was 3(not sending?), AP world 4, APUSH 2 (not sending…)

I think I have a variety of extracurricular activities though:

Outside Orchestra program (the best one in my state)
Vet shadowing
Animal shelter volunteering
Did hospital PT/OT volunteering
President of music club at high school, Rocketry club, Science Olympiad Club, Animal Welfare Club
Art awards and activities (like a lot/ I am really good at art and going to send a portfolio)
JV Tennis captain for a year and just tennis for years

I want to also know what major you are taking because I want to see what others are majoring in!
And should I just not send the subject test scores or send even though my scores are low.
Do I have a chance of getting in.

  1. Is your Dad and/or Mom willing to pay $65K/year for you to attend UCSD since I am assuming your Mother is the custodial parent?

  2. You need to calculate your UC capped weighted GPA. You only get extra honors points in the calculation for AP/IB courses taken 10-11th grades.

  1. UCSD has no recommendations for SAT subject tests for Biology majors but Biology is a capped/impacted major so the admission standards will be higher.

Your SAT score is within range, your HS course rigor looks on target, your EC’s are competitive so if your capped weighted UC GPA is around 4.13 or higher, then you definitely have a good chance at an acceptance.

Best of luck.
