Hi guys. I’m a high school senior and live about an hour away from UCSB. I have a 3.4 weighted GPA, a SAT score of 1060 (new version), and I have been in the color guard and winter guard in my school for 4 years ( captain for each for 2 years), in theatre for 3 years ( Vice President for 1 year), Link Crew for one year, Choir for 2 years, and Octagon Club for one year. Are my chances low into getting into UCSB?
Your GPA and test scores are below the 25th percentile for UCSB.

UCSB would be a Reach. If you are a CA resident, UCR and UCM would be your target UC’s.
What other schools did you apply? What is your safety school?
