<p>I really want to get accepted into UCSB. </p>
<p>Sophemore year, I screwed around and ended the year with a 2.67 UC GPA</p>
<p>Then I got my act together, and so far in my junior year I have recieved 11 straight A's 5 of the classes are honors. 0 B's, 0 C's, 0 D's </p>
<p>So now my UC A-G GPA is a 3.77.</p>
<p>My SAT is a 1710</p>
<p>I have a bunch of hardships, and extra curriculars, and have a legit essay planned. Im a surfer. Hoping that they will notice my transformation from sophemore to Junior year.</p>
<p>I will be applying for Middle Eastern Studies because it is the least popular major. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate some opinions on my chances and how I might be able to improve my chances. Thanks a lot!</p>
