Do you think it is possible for me to get into UCSB?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>It has been my dream school to go to since the 3rd grade. I went there with my family to visit my cousin on campus. I was amazed and fell in love with it. I never forgot about how great it was and I just visited it last school year on a college tour trip in my class. It just made me so eager to go to school there. I am afraid now that I messed up too bad last school year and screwed my chances of getting in. So can you tell me if i still have a chance of getting into UCSB?

The GPA I have right now before junior year is 3.45 (weighted)
I am also the vice president of Key Club at my school.</p>

<p>Yes it’s still possible. Many colleges consider junior year grades to be the most important. If you work hard and earn good grades your GPA will show a big upward trend which will look good on your application. You should also try to get involved in more EC’s and volunteering work.</p>

<p>Definitely agree with Shrivats, more ECs and an upward trend will definitely help you out. You also need to do really well on your ACT/SAT. I believe UCs have stopped requiring two SAT subject tests but if you know you will do well, those might be beneficial to take as well.</p>

<p>And if you don’t get in (not saying you wont, but as a back up), you can always go to Santa Barbara City College and transfer in to UCSB after two years.</p>
