UCSD UCD UCI UCSC & UCSB chances? Help PLEASE!

<p>Thank you for helping me out. I'm new to this and I would really like some help.</p>

<p>Trying to get in through Environmental Engineering. I am passionate about this subject/ matter.
I've looked into Cal Poly Slo but their acceptance rate is really low and I feel like it would be competitive compared to UC's. If you know any other Environmental Engineering programs besides UC's and not as rigorious to get into please tell me. </p>

<p>Do personal statements make a major difference? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Based on the information you gave I would say your chances from most likely to least likely would be UCSC, UCI, UCSB, UCD, UCSD. This is based completely on your academics and extra curricular, I have no idea how competitive engineering is at these schools.</p>

<p>THEREFORE, take my input with a grain of salt.
However it’d help other people analyze you better with a bit more information like:
Did you take any APs? Scores on those?
Parents income? Are you a 1st generation student going to college?
California resident? And maybe a bit more that I’m forgetting.</p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot at UCSC, they have great engineering because they are so close to the silicon valley</p>

<p>I have taken Ap tests but got 2’s.
I am the first generation in my family to attend college.
medium income
california resident.</p>

<p>what is the average sat scores and gpa for UC D and UC I?</p>

<p>I think your biggest hurdle is going to getting accepted into an engineering program with a SAT I math score of 560. There is evidence that a minimum SAT I math score of 600 is needed to succeed as a Math, Physics, Astronomy and Engineering.</p>

<p>Okay so I took the sat today. After a year of preparation I took it again and I feel confident about my score. My high would be 1900-2100 and low will be 1800-1890. What are my chances to UCD and UCSD with a 1900+ ? And I studied math a lot during my SAT classes and I think I’ll receive a bit more than 700. So that would help a lot… Thanks</p>
