<p>Are you first generation?</p>

<p>Your chances into UCSD are very high. I don’t know why they would not accept you :)</p>

<p>In</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>I’m not 1st generation. I am just a little concern because the acceptance rate to Jacob school of engineering is around 10%. I know UCSD goes by point system and I think I should come in around 8468.</p>

<p>With that point total you should be easily in.</p>
