<p>I was just wondering how good of a chance you think I have at getting a Regent scholarship and at getting into CSS math.
From reading about it, CSS math looks amazing and I'd love to get in, but even if I do get in my parents don't want to pay for my college in the least.
GPA: 4.294
I'm not sure what my UC gpa is...
class rank: 14/743
SAT writing: 650
SAT CR: 740
SAT math: 780
SAT 2 math: 800
SAT 2 Physics: 800
SAT 2 Chemistry: 770
ACT: 35
thanks.</p>
<p>You have a really good shot at the regents. Are you applying to this incoming fall?</p>
<p>yes I am. Fall 2010.
I orginally wasn’t interested in UCSB, but to me this CCS thing sounds fantastic. So I really hope I can go. :</p>
<p>I’m in CCS math as well. It’s really an amazing program.</p>
<p>With math/physics SAT scores like that, you probably have a great shot at CCS math.</p>
<p>CCS is pretty cool. I’m in the lit program and really enjoying it.</p>
<p>CCS is definitely a terrific program-I came to UCSB in order to attend the CCS physics program and have never regretted it. Your scores and grades look great, but for CCS the letters of recommendation and your letter of intent (the one where you convince the math faculty you really love math and belong at CCS) are also very important. I’m not sure exactly how UCSB ranks their applicants, but a fair number of CCS students do end up as Regent’s scholars. Let me know if you have any questions and good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for the comment. One of the teachers who’s writing my reccomendation is convinced that UCSB is just some party school and that Berkeley is the way to go. So thanks for the support and all. To be honest, the most convincing thing I see about CCS is that I haven’t seen a negative comment from anyone who’s attended (I’ve googled CCS and gone through college confidential like 39472304872 times). </p>
<p>Also, I know I’m not accepted yet (or might not be accepted), but I have a question that I hope you can answer. I was thinking about doing mathematical physics later on in my life and I have an interest in physics in general. So I was wondering if you know any math/physics double majors in CCS and how that would work in terms of courseload and all. Math is still my main focus definitely, but do you think it’d be better to try and double major, or just take the courses on the side (electives sort of). If you can’t answer, that’s fine. I was just curious about it.</p>
