<p>everything is really impressive except for your SAT's.
they're kind of low, i mean it doesn't match up with you being in NHS and class rank, maybe UCSD will assume your school has severe grade inflation. you should especially focus on bringing up your reading score, it should be at least in the 600's.</p>
