UCSB-extra curriculars and essays?

<p>how much does UCSB care about extra curriculars and essays? my gpa and sats are ok, (4.17 w, 3.92 uw, SATI: 650 math 670 reading 730 writing/sat II: 620 bio 660 math 2 670 reading) but i'm really not confident about my essays and extra curriculars. </p>

<p>i was accepted to UCSC but denied by UCSD and UCLA so i'm reallyyyyy hoping i get into UCSB</p>

<p>i dont think alot and *** you got rejected from SD with those stats? DUDE i know someone at my school with like 3.9 weighted and 1700-ish sat scores that got accepted…-.-</p>

<p>ya i was kinda shocked… now i’ll probably be deciding between USD, Cal Poly, and hopefully UCSB</p>

<p>Your GPA and test scores count towards 50% of the evaluation process. And the rest including essays and EC’s account for the other 50%.</p>

<p>thanks guys! and i got in :)</p>
