<p>Definately in.</p>

<p>Your UC GPA is 3.72, above UCSC's average of 3.56.<br>
Your SAT of 1510 is below UCSC's average (middle 50% is between 1530 and 1890)--average is probably around 1680.
Your two SATs IIs are above average (1500 out of 1600 possible).</p>

<p>ECs are about average for UC Santa Cruz for an in-state student.</p>

<p>This means you should be a match for the school.</p>

<p>As far as the best programs at UC Santa Cruz, the four best are:
Marine Sciences
Biology
Psychology, and
Linguistics </p>

<p>The only strong business program at UC Santa Cruz is their information technology program at the moment. They also have a Business Economics major that allows one to prepare for an accounting career.</p>

<p>Obviously, a linguistics major would probably work well for you--but I suggest you go to the school and decide what works best once you've taken a few classes.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
