“I studied my ass off to get SAT scoresApr 27 2009Unknown
I studied my ass off to get SAT scores high above the norm. My grades were good but by no means stellar; I always had two or three B's because I had taken the accelerated lanes for every possible class, including two APs and two honors classes in junior year. I took a total of 5APs and four honors classes throughout my entire high school career. From what I hear, however, is that the standard has raised the bar for admissions.
I strongly urge that applicants have one or two strong extra-curricular activities throughout the entire high school career.

“Go to a community college and transfer inJun 25 2008Aerospace Engineering
Go to a community college and transfer in. At a CC, you'll get more personal attention while spending less money. Then come to UCSD with a clear intention of what you want to do and who you want to network with.
