Ucsc, Is It Hard To Get Into? I Was Born In Italy. Will Colleges Like That?
My top choice school is UCSC.
I am a junior in high school. I have a pretty good SAT score (1800), except I did HORRIBLE on math. I am planning on re taking the SAT at least twice, and I am taking the ACT. I have about a B + average, I am taking two honors classes, and I took two honors classes last year. I have been playing basketball for three years, on the schools team. I have been in chorus for eight years, and the schools selective chorus since sixth grade. Do I have a chance of getting into UCSC? Will they like that I’m an out of country student? I can speak fluent Italian and I am taking a subject test in Italian. Plus I go back there most summers. This year I am studying at an Italian college for three months.

Stumble it!
UCSC is one of the less competitive UCs, but you would still need about a 3.5 to get in, regardless of extracurricular activities. All of your activities will be useful if you do meet those minimum standards, though. Many students in California are born outside of the U.S., so I don’ t think that would give you much of an advantage.
You need to be in the top 12% of your graduating classs to get into a UC school. Are you? If not, the rest counts for nothing. They only make a difference if you are just barely in the top 12%.
And being born in Italy matters for next to nothing. Hope you can handle the 32% tuition increase and the cutting of tons of classes all across the UC system.
I would say u have a good chance of being accepted
and if i go there next September maybe ill see you
