Will I get into UCSD? or UCDavis?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey there (: I want to thank you before hand for reading this. I've researched a lot about admissions and average test scores/GPAs, but I'm always paranoid when it comes to things like this...</p>

<p>I'm currently a Junior in HS
Since freshman year, I knew what I would major in in the future. I'm a REALLY indecisive person. And I hate that about me when it comes to looking for a place to eat at. But I actually like being indecisive because the reason that I am is because I consider EVERY single outcome possible. I know that sounds horrendous, but it makes me feel a lot more safe with my final decision.</p>

<p>SO that said, choosing to major in psychology is one of the only things I have been really decisive about. I KNOW for sure it's what I'm going to do. I'm extremely passionate about it. Over the years, I've researched about it, and a couple months ago, I decided I would specialize in Neuropsychology. </p>

<p>I found the PERFECT (and i mean ABSOLUTELY PERFECT) undergraduate program at UCSD for what I want to become. I was thinking about doing Early Decision for UCSD, but found out they do not offer that.</p>

<p>HERES MY PROBLEM:
I don't have a really good GPA
Currently, my total GPA is a 3.3-3.4
For the last semester of Sophomore year, I had 5 As and 1 B which was a huge improvement from the first semester. (4 Bs)
BUT for the first semester of Junior year, I really screwed myself over. I got 5 Bs and 1 A.
I do have my excuses. Everything is falling apart in my life right now and I would elaborate on that, but this is not my personal essay, right? That would be too much for you guys to read.
I'm really positive that I can pull off 5 A's this last semester of Junior year.</p>

<p>I think at the end of my Junior year, my GPA will be around 3.5
I know it's difficult to get into UCSD. Only 16% of their incoming students had a GPA of 3.5-3.75 or something of that sort
I'm really really worried. </p>

<p>I think what I'm looking for right now is some positive side to this. Like something that will comfort me and put me at rest.
The thing about me is that I worry about the future and plan for it SO much. I don't really think about what I'm doing in the present and it really kills me. </p>

<p>Any input is welcome
Thank you so much, guys (:</p>

<p>Also, I'm taking 3 AP classes right now. and 2 other APs that I am self-studying for. By the end of senior year, I will have finished 10 or 11 AP exams</p>

<p>Hi there!
It seems like you are awfully passionate about UCSD, and I really would not like to pop your bubble but, unfortunately, your current total GPA is, admittedly, a bit low for UCSD :(</p>

<p>But do keep trying, and try to pull off straight A’s! That would really impress the admissions officers! I do not see your SAT/ACT. I could give you a bit more information regarding your chances if you just provide me with a bit more yourself… extracirriculars, volunteers, job experiences, personal achievements/obstacles, etc.</p>

<p>I really do hope you get in! As of now, I myself am waiting for an acceptance/rejection from UCSD in an hour or so!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Sehruhh, how do you know ucsd is goingto release result within an hr ?
sweetannasour, I think you can take a summer class this year just try to boost up your
GPA a bit, although not much. It still counts. Besides, you really have to get good scores
on your SAT. A friend of mine got in UCSD last year with only 3.61 and 1885 gpa, but he
has a lot of ECS. Good luck</p>
