Hello! I would like to hear some people's opinions as to whether I have a chance at getting into UCSD, which is my dream school. I began my high school years at a charter school, which is really easy to pass and is not competetive at all. They don't offer any AP or honors classes at this school so I feel like I'm at a bit of a disadvantage already because I was never in any AP classes and I know UCSD is a very competetive school. My grades have been as follows:
9th grade:
A-G English A
A-G Spanish 1 A
A-G Geometry A
PE B
A-G Biology A
Study Skills. A
10th Grade:
A-G English II A
A-G Spanish 3 A
A-G Algebra II A
PE 2. B
A-G Chemistry A
A-G World His. A
Health. A
11th Grade (Where it gets a bit funky):
A-G English III B
A-G Pre-Calc. C
A-G Physics. A
A-G US History B
A-G Vis Arts (C- first sem) (D sec semester)
Internship. C
Now, this year, I am retaking Precal because I did not grasp any of the concepts last year and Calc would be super confusing if I didn't understand Precal, I believe. I am also now at a more competetive school and am retaking Visual Arts to make up for that D in that semester for Visual Arts.
12th Grade Schedule:
AVID
English 4
Biotechnology
Math Analysis (Precal)
Enonomics
Government
Film Studies (as my vis arts)
With that being said, I think my biggest flaw in my transcript would be the Visual Arts with the D grade. Do you guys think that I still have a chance with these grades? My SAT scores were a bit average, I scored:
Reading 560
Math 540
Writing 530
I do plan on retaking the SAT and possibly aiming for 600 scores on each. I may also take some SAT Subject Tests if those will help.
Would I have a chance if I score 600 on each?
