Do I Still Have A Chance Of Getting Into Ucsd?

By admin Posted in: chinese health

I’m a sophomore and currently taking 2 AP classes. However, I’m not doing very well. It’s finals week (we have semesters) and am already guaranteed at least 2 B s and most of my As are borderline. I’m very worried about my GPA right now, because this is one of the years that really count, especially UCs. One of my dream schools is UCSD, but I don’t know if I will be accepted at this rate. Some advice is greatly appreciated. I will post my grades so far
I just took my calculus AB final and I don’t think I did pretty well (I needed a C- on the final to keep my B-), so I might get a C ;_;. I’m taking my chemistry final tomorrow, but even if I get a perfect score, my grade will still be a B (Honors Chemistry is extremely hard in our school; the two teachers who teach the subject have a bad reputation among the students).
Year Semester 1 2
Freshman Year:
Honors Algebra 2 A A
Honors English A A
Honors Biology A B
Computer Info Systems A n/a
Health n/a A
PE A A
Honors Spanish 3-4 A A
Chinese 1-2 A A
Second Semester
AP European History A
AP Calculus AB B (maybe a C depending on the final)
Honors Spanish 5-6 A- (maybe a B depending on the final)
Chinese 3-4 A- (maybe a B depending on the final)
Honors Humanities A- (maybe a B depending on the final)
Honors Chem. B
Pre-Engineering A
PS Are there any other factors that might affect your chances of enrollment into a university ( other than extra curricular, SAT scores, and a good essay)?

    Now, looking at UCSD’s freshman admission statistics, you still have a chance, though it may be slim. There were students admitted within a 3.89-3.60 high school GPA range, but that made up only 27% of the total admitted last year. http://studentresearch.ucsd.edu/sriweb/e…
    Well, the factors you mentioned are the most important things universities look at and pretty much the only things admission officers can even use to determine your admission. But, there are universities that offer interviews, especially private universities, so those could also play a factor. Also, some private universities give preference to “legacy” applicants, who have some familial relationship with an alumni who graduated at the same private university as the one their applying to. So, if your father graduated from USC, and you’re applying to USC, you’ll have a better chance at being admitted.
    Back to UCSD, they do also look to see if you’ve completed more than the minimum a-g requirements, such as doing four years of math instead of only the three you’re required to do.
    As for the factors you’ve mentioned, they actually reflect a lot. For example, a good essay/ extracurriculars should reflect good personal qualities, such as leadership or creativity. UC’s in general also like to see that you’ve done community service (it has it’s own box to fill out on the application, so you wouldn’t want it blank). Here’s more on how UCSD looks at applicants: http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students…
