UCSB is kind of difficult to get into, but you should apply even if you think you re not quite qualified, as long as you meet the UC Eligibility Index, and if you re a CA resident, have an A - G gpa of 3.0. They admitted almost 50% of the Fall 2009 Freshman applicants, admitted Freshmen applicants had a mean 3.85 gpa, 1801 SAT. Just about 20% of those admitted enroll. http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/QuickFact��(For comparison, very selective schools, like the Ivies, admit 7 - 10% of applicants and 85% are qualified to attend. So UCSB isn t too bad.)Here is info to help you:http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/Selection��http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/Selection��Also, you might consider a community college transfer program. Here is an example:http://www.pasadena.edu/transfer/special��Last year UCSB had to cancel full classes 5 days before school started. SBCC canceled 120 classes. Hopefully next Fall will be different.Good luck!
There is a mixture of requirements only you can answer. Go to the website and look at their requirements for GPA, SAT and Major courses. That should let you know personally.Are you a proven JC student or just coming out of HS. Go to the website to know for sure.
i was thinking of applying to it. it is a pretty hard school to get into. especially now because of all the budget cuts in the CA education system. i guarantee you will need at least a 4.0 to get in out of high school now.
Yes, it tough to get into. It s the 12th best public school in the country. With perfect weather, ideal location, and lots of social activities; doesn t everyone want to go there?
