<p>If you are applying to ucsd, you might as well pick a couple of other UCs, as all you have to do is check off a couple of boxes. With UCs as your safety, you should be fine. You might even be offered some money from one of them. My son was offered full tuition, merit based, from UCSB with similar stats.
I’m assuming you are a California resident.</p>
<p>oh, just saw the cross-post. I don’t think they give merit money to OOS students. You should apply to your state flagship as a safety.</p>
