All opinions, advice, and critiques are appreciated!

You look like a qualified applicant especially your excellent test scores but definitely not a guarantee. Make sure you apply widely and have some solid Match and safety schools on your list.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19:

UCB: 14%
UCLA: 14%
UCSD: 44%
UCSB: 54%
UCD: 58%
UCI: 65%
UCSC: 85%
UCR: 94%
UCM: 96%

Best of Luck.

Thank you for the reply! Is there anything I could do to improve my chances? I really like SD and it is one of my top choices. Also would you consider it a match or a reach? Thank you so much!

I would say a Match-High Match. NMF will definitely help you and your test scores are excellent. Other than GPA, you I see no glaring deficiencies in your application. UCSD admits first into their school and then into your major. Make sure you have an alternate major in mind just in case.

I got waitlisted and here are my general stats-

White
Female
CA
4.18 GPA
33 ACT
Psychology major
Heavy ECs involvement

Basically luck :expressionless:

This year it seems as if they based it off other sources. Like, a kid I know has a 24 act and 3.6w GPA but she got in for undecided.
