<p>alright, so i'm wondering how hard it is to get into SB, and its because people have told me different things; some say that you definitely need a 4.0, and some say a 3.5 would do. I know, and have, already looked at the average gpa. But, could you just post your:</p>
<p>major applied to:

SAT/ACT:
Accepted/Rejected:</p>
<p>Thanks so much</p>
<p>Major applied to: history

<p>you probably won’t get the stats you’re looking for because most of the rejected applicants don’t post anymore.</p>

<p>Wow, Calikillafornia, I’m surprised. Did you have any ECs? APs?</p>
<p>9 AP classes (6 taken 5 passed)
I was surprised as well, but I think maybe it’s because I got into Irvine (but rejected it for UCR)</p>
<p>I had few EC’s.
2 varsity sports, Speech & Debate, and a few other academic and volunteer clubs.</p>
<p>Thats really surprising…I don’t think it matters what other UC you got into. Your scorer must have been having a bad day…or something…who knows.</p>
<p>same thing happened to one of my friends : ~3.75 UC GPA, 2020 SAT , 800 math ii, 750 bio
got rejected from everywhere except riverside. </p>
<p>but got into UCI after appealing, ( appeal was denied at UCSB and UC Davis)</p>
<p>so many BS thing happened with UC apps this yr. :(</p>
<p>wow, these last two stories are kind of ridiculous, and yea, people have been telling me about the problems with UC selection this year too</p>
<p>thanks to anyone who has already posted, people still very welcome to post basically anything about UCSB on here :)</p>
<p>this was awhile ago but it might give some people with low GPAs some hope. i went to ucsb with a 3.2 UC GPA and a 33 ACT with some decent EC’s back in 2007. It was definately my ACT scores and EC’s that got me in. I have since transferred schools though but had a great time while i was there.</p>
<p>well, i can give hope to ppl with lower GPAs too haha
GPA: 3.46
SAT: 1700
Accepted!</p>
<p>but i had a ton of ECs: 3 yrs Vasity swimming, 1yr JV football, 1yr Varsity cross country, 1yr Varsity Track, 4 yrs class VP, 1st in Scottish World Pipe Band Championships, a few clubs and alot of service hours. </p>
<p>w00t w00t!</p>
<p>hopefully this will also give people with a lower gpa hope… 
gpa: 3.3 (or 3.4, i dont remember)
SAT: 2030
accepted!</p>
<p>but i had a ton of EC’s too. I was in student government for three years, i was on varsity dive, and did symphony orchestra for three years, and i had taken a total of 8 ap classes and 9 ap tests.</p>
