<p>you’re gpa is on the low side, but if you boost up your SAT I grades to 2100+ Same goes for SAT II. If you boost up your sat scores, I would say SD is more of a match and so is UCLA engineering school. not to insult ucla engineering but i know some people with rather low stats who got in and other who were rejected from both berkeley and sd but got into la eng. </p>
<p>If you have any awards or other extracurriculars you should write them all out. I wouldn’t try to explain the strike on your record in an essay unless the strike is veyr obviously for cheating. If the strike could have been marked for anything (cheating, vandalism, fighting, or something milder >_>) then I doubt 1 is going to have a huge affect. And from your statement, you don’t think people on CC will believe the story behind it. admission officers will be even less inclined to.</p>
