@mattyicecold
Maybe you wrote something that was a turnoff in your essays? Or those others had phenomenal essays/ECs? Also the SAT is probably lower than most for the engineering program. The UCs are becoming increasingly holistic.
@mattyicecold hey there. I think you have a really strong chance of getting into UCSB <3
@AntonyTahan The Chancellor invite was for both in-state and out-of-state applicants.
From my analysis, the SAT scores for engineers need to be at least 50 points higher in every category, so 150 points higher on a 2400 scale. Scores below 2100 are quite borderline for engineering. And, number of technical electives really do matter. (take a peak at stats for Cal Poly SLO Engineering for sense of Engineer v. Other major SAT scores http://admissions.calpoly.edu/prospective/profile.html.)
UCSB is out early. My D just accepted.
