<p>I’m sorry about your grandparents :frowning:
But you should be fine for UCSB, I think SD may be a slight reach just because of your GPAs sophomore and junior year (but you have an upward trend, so that’s good). If your essays are good I think you have a chance at both.</p>

<p>lol it happens to everyone
but yeah i think i wrote a good essay lol i had it revised multiple times so hopefully SD admissions officers will like me cause of it</p>

<p>am i safe for irvine?</p>

<p>UCSD Admissions is completely points based and having a grandparent get cancer will not give points. Your essays will most likely not help you.
I can say UCSD will be a pretty big reach.</p>

<p>Oh sorry I forgot about UCI haha. It’s pretty similar to UCSB in terms of admissions so I think you should be ok.</p>
