<p>Talents: I have been playing a rare traditional Japanese instrument called the Tsugaru Shamisen for 7 years and I have performed/volunteered (volunteered for 60+ hours but don't have any proof which is a bummer) for numerous events and concerts.</p>

<p>...do you think it's possible to overshadow my GPA if I get higher SAT scores? Also, my Extracurricular isn't so on-point, will that affect my chances a lot?</p>

<p>Average UC GPA: 4.0+ Average SAT: 1900. UCSB is more holistic in their admissions and does like higher SAT scores and more leadership in you EC’s so you would probably need at least a 2000+ to make up for the lower GPA. You do have a chance but with so much competition for the UC’s, I would definitely consider UCSC/UCR/UCM and some Cal States if you are in-state California.</p>
