My gpa is not that great but my personal statement is very strong.
So…what are my chances for UCSD or UCLA? I really want to get into UCSD
Not good enough for UCLA. Not sure for UCSD.
Should I still apply to UCLA just in case or not even bother wasting my money
Your GPA is not competitive for neither UCLA nor UCSD.
What’s your SAT?
Can’t answer w/o UC GPA and SAT.
Hey man in the same boat with you. Doing college apps right now, but from my opinion yours doesn’t look too strong. You are unfortunately a bit under for UCLA and UCSD. I think since you have a good personal statement that if your SAT is very high then you might have a chance. Do you have any leadership positions or awards for ECs or something? Because that might also help a bit. I would say if you have money, then put down UCLA and UCSD because you truly never know. But if you don’t money to continually waste on the overpriced college apps then I would say no, but maybe just one of the schools.
I wish you all the best!
wait I’m a transfer student haha so no SAT
My UC GPA is 3.48
I feel like you can get into UCSD with an above average essay. UCLA is a whole other story. Best of luck!
yeah maybe not UCLA but UCSD transfer GPAs don’t seem to be too far from mine. I guess I will find out. Thanks everyone
