Help!! Chances of UCSD?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>What are my chances of getting into UCSD? I am a resident of Oregon, have a 4.05 GPA, in top 10% of my class, have taken AP Chem, AP Stats, AP English, AP Psychology, and AP Spanish. However, my SAT Verbal is 480, math is 550, and writing 530 (Not great, I know) And I wasn't able to take subjects tests because on last day to take them I was re-taking the SAT Reasoning test. I have played volleyball for school and club every year, have extracurricular activities, awards, community service, and work experience.</p>

<p>What are my chances on getting into UCSD? I know test scores are really important and mine aren't that great and I wasnt able to take the subjects :-/</p>

<p>two subject tests are... required.

<p>if you don't have them, you're not even eligible.</p>

<p>In any case, the SAT I is too low for UCSD. I don't know why you would want to go to a public school out of state. If you pay that much, might as well go to a private school with more individual attention and less of a sink-or-swim mentality.</p>

<p>If you were eligible (which you aren't), your test scores are dragging you down so far, you are unlikely to be admitted.</p>

<p>Take a SAT course, then practice, practice, practice and then retake the regular SAT tests. (and take the two required subject area tests).</p>

<p>UCSD: Super Reach (out of state)</p>

<p>Alrightay thanks so much, I applied beforehand thinking my scores would go up higher but unfortuantely they didn't do much, what about UCR cause I applied there too</p>

<p>UCR: Slight Reach (out of state)</p>

<p>what about USF?</p>

<p>UCSD: super reach (weighted GPA a little low, scores pretty low for their standards, OOS, etc.)
UCR: slight reach (OOS)</p>

<p>It's pretty easy for in-staters, not so much for OOS-ers.</p>

<p>and the fact that the OP has extremely low SAT's and no SAT II's drops the chances even more</p>

<p>Yeah my hopes aren't too high, I am taking the test again this weekend but it will be too late for the UC schools. When I applied I was hoping my scores would improve but they failed to do so, and true not taking the subjects probably hurt me. Anyway thanks for the responses, kind of had a feeling that would be the outcome</p>

<p>you could have tried cal states! (:
but you have other backups, right?</p>

15

<p>Oh yeah I have backups I've applied to nine other schools so I'm not worried about it</p>
