<p>What I am most concerned about is my SAT score and my extracurricular, are they good enough? Sorry this post was SO long, but thanks for sticking around to help!!</p>

<p>UCSD: Match/High match</p>

<p>Agree with @Catria: Your intended major may change your chances slightly. Your EC’s look fine, but your SAT could be a little higher.</p>

<p>UCSD: High Match</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance of getting in. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Retaking the SAT in exactly a week! Wish me luck!! </p>
