<p>Will that one C kill my chances, but does that 5 kinda equal it out?
Can someone calculate my uc gpa, also What are my chances?
Also i want to be a bio major, since it is competitive in ucsd is it better to apply as undecided then apply for bio when i get in or just apply as bio major? What are my chanced</p>

<p>Match, in my opinion for UCSD. UCI is a safety for you. UCLA a bit of a reach.</p>

<p>Bio is very competitive at UCSD. Even though it says 4.something or other on their brochures, MANY people I know got in with a much lower GPA than that (myself included haha), so I’d say your GPA is alright, and no, the C will not kill your chances.</p>

<p>I’d say you should apply undecided because it’s very difficult to get into SD with a bio major, but as long as you do well in bio courses you should be fine applying if and after you get in. That’s pretty much the case with everyone I know…</p>

<p>UCs put a lot of weight on the personal statement. I think it’s because they don’t do interviews, but make sure you work hard on that. My GPA wasn’t that hot but I had good test scores, ECs, and, in my opinion, a strong personal statement.</p>
