<p>I was wondering what my chances of getting into UCSB are.</p>
<p>CA resident, jewish, have a single parent, </p>
<p>I slacked off during my first two years of high school and got a cumulative GPA of 3.038, but now I am getting down to Business and on my last report card got a 4.0 with three weighted classes, two of them being AP Bio and APUSH. I am apart of my schools AFS, Spanish and World Without Boarders clubs. I am active in my Church, and occasionally volunteer. i haven't taken the SATs yet but i could probably score somewhere around an 1800. i have wrestled and played baseball throughout my high school career. </p>
<p>I know my resume so far is sub par for getting into a well known UC like UCSB but...</p>
<p>i am currently taking night school to get the required civics and econ out of the way, over the summer i am going to take English four and graduate from my high school in three years. i am doing this because i am going to study abroad for my entire senior year in Spain, where i would be taking a full work load. i am going abroad with AFS and i was wondering if THIS was going to be enough to make my application stand out. I know that UCSB is the headquarters for the entire UC college exchange program, and was wondering if this might have anything to do with my acceptance. </p>
<p>i will have taken three years of spanish,4 CP english, Chem, Bio, AP bio, APUS, up to pre cal in math, and ceramics. plus the courses that i take in Spain.</p>
<p>its my dream to hang with the Guacho, do i have a good chance?</p>
