<p>Assuming you are a California resident,
UCSD: Match
UCI/UCSB/UCD: Safe Match
UCR/UCM: Safety</p>

<p>Sadly you did best on the writing, which doesn't count in the UC rubric because they are sceptical about how the essays are being graded (almost no colleges look at the writing scores at this point.) That means your real SAT scores are 1290/1600. I can't remember if UC takes the ACT. If they do, take them. If not, get Grammatix and study over the summer, then see how you do on the SATs in the fall.</p>

<p>Writing counts at Ucs (they are the ones who insisted college board add it), boyle, you are posting on threads you know nothing about. Agree with flopsy.</p>

5

<p>The UCs count all three parts of the SAT (reading, math, and writing) and your best two SAT IIs:</p>

<p>The details on this are at this site:</p>

<p>See the part at the bottom entitled: Test Score Totals</p>

<p>P.S. Flopsy's got this one exactly right.</p>

<p>You shouldn't be worried about getting into the middle-tier UC's with your stats. I'm guessing you come from a very competitive school because your stats are very strong.</p>

<p>My school is a very competitive high school in north county san diego. But i am not too worried about UCSB and UCI etc. But i think it would be awesome to go to UCSD. So, I am just crossing my fingers. I guess people are getting in with low stats, but some denied with super high stats. Go figure. By the way, my UC gpa is only a 3.8, and i think the average is something like a 4.03. so i think it is gonna be a reach.</p>

<p>Well, just know that I've heard of some miserable experiences from UCSD commuters, mostly due to the boredom they face at college because they're outsiders from the residential population of UCSD. I live in San Diego (University City area), and I never considered UCSD for that reason.</p>

9

<p>no way...that sux, but i think i can tolerate the drive.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, try to live on campus if you do get in, and go to UCSD. I didn't consider UCSD either because I'm kind of tired of it by now.</p>
