if you live in california, ucsd shouldn't be a big problem with your scores....(although i do not know of the GPA). Just the ECs and leadership positions

I think for ucsd your sat score is high enough.

ucsd is a good match for you.

Not so fast. What's your UC GPA? Class rank? Are you a California resident? What major are you applying for at UCSD? Without this information, it's impossible to talk of anyone's chances.

I would say ucsd is a match for you. You would definately get in. 1. Living in cali 2. national merit-semi finalist 3. good sat's

i live in las vegas and i got a 1220 on my sats, not great ec's, decent essay and i got in when i applied as a freshman. for some reason i am going to unlv now though haha, but anyways, ur safe man.
