Freshman selection criteria:
- SANTA BARBARA
*
-
Very important: Academic GPA, Application essay, Rigor of secondary school record, Standardized test scores
-
Considered: Character/personal qualities, Class rank, Extracurricular activities, First generation college student, Level of applicant's interest, State residency, Talent/ability, Volunteer work, Work experience
-
Note: Eligibility established by high school GPA, course requirement, and SAT scores. Special consideration for disadvantaged students.
- Freshman Selection:
College of Letters and Sciences: Choice of major is not considered in selection to the College of Letters and Science. The exceptions to this rule are dance and music performance majors. Both majors require applicants to complete an audition in late January or early February.
College of Engineering: Students are selected by major for all engineering and computer science majors. Only applicants with a solid background in advanced high school mathematics will be considered for admission to engineering. This includes high grades in all math courses through grade 11 and enrollment in pre-calculus or higher in grade 12. A student not selected for their first choice major will be reviewed for admission to an alternate major outside of the College of Engineering if one was selected.
College of Creative Studies:
Applicants to the College of Creative Studies submit a supplementary application in addition to the general UC Application, which is reviewed by Creative Studies faculty. Students are selected within Creative Studies majors only. Applicants not selected for Creative Studies will automatically be considered for admission to the College of Letters and Science.

My 4.05 GPA is weighted. My weighted and capped is 3.76.
I’ve taken multiple honors and AP’s, starting with AP World and Honors Algebra 2 Trig my freshman year. I want to major in psychology when I go to college.

UC’s tend to be very GPA focused so below a 4.0 capped weighted can be impact your chances. Your SAT is within range. UCSB considers 50% academics/tests scores/HS course rigor and 50% EC’s/essays, so having stellar essays and EC’s can help your chances.
Below is the 2017 data based on UC Capped weighted GPA only and not major specific. Since Psychology is in the College of L&S, your major is not considered by I would also select an alternate major just in case since Psych is very popular.
Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.40-3.79 (capped weighted)
UCSB: 10.1%
I would say that UCSB will be a Slight Reach school.
What other schools are you interested in applying? For the UC’s, I would target UC Santa Cruz, UC Riverside and UC Merced. Your stats would get you easily into almost all the Cal States with the exception of Cal Poly SLO and maybe SDSU.

@“suhel d”. CC etiquette is if you have a question, you need to start your own thread and ask. Hijacking another poster’s thread is considered rude. I will comment once you post your own thread.
Thank you for your input I appreciate it! @Gumbymom
