Your Capped Weighted UC GPA is above the average for UCSD (4.16) but close to the 25th percentile for your SAT scores (1250). Much will depend upon intended major and your personal insight essays. It definitely will not be an easy admit for you, but you do have a chance.

I chose pharmacological chemistry as my major and chemistry as my alternate? how competitive are these majors?

Both will be competitive since UCSD is know as a STEM campus but there is no specific data to indicate the # of applicants by major vs. admitted applicants.

UCSD also admits into the University first then into the major so there is a chance you will be admitted to UCSD but not in your choice major.

Overall, UCSD is one of the top UC’s so you should consider it very competitive, especially with a record # of applicants this year.
