My Chances of Getting Accepted into UCSB. Much Appreciated

<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>

<p>Bro, i have the same UC GPA as you, and I really want to go to santa barbara too!</p>

<p>You seem to have a good chance, but I would work on bumping up your SAT score, and do well on some SAT 2's</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>Yeah for sure. Dude check out this website, <a href="http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005067.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005067.html&lt;/a> , it says that the eligible college population is going down about .5 .. which is like a lot. This next year will be a lottt easier to get into college than this year. Do u surf or anything</p>

<p>A bit, i live right by Ocean Beach in San Francisco, but it's so dangerous that I have to drive all the way to pacifica to find some waves.</p>

<p>where do you reside bro</p>

<p>Santa Cruz, really legit waves up here.</p>

<p>Raise the SAT to around 1900+ and I think your chances will increase a lot. Also take the SAT 2s and do decent on them.</p>
