Question Details: I'm trying to get into UCSC. I have a 3.66 gpa, a 1710 sat, and with my essay, do you think i have a good chance? thanks!

The last twelve years of my life would be impossible to quantify in a stat sheet and a thousand words or less. It is best described as a concoction of stories and experiences that resemble the characteristics inherent to any great novel. All the fundamentals of classic literature are there: excitement, curiosity, gain, loss, accomplishment, misfortune, victory and defeat. The roots of my development are embedded in my bloodlines, as well as my environment. I am the youngest of four brothers, raised in a setting where my parents encouraged personal individualism. My mom was brought up in a rural and religious Maryland community, and embraced these ideals as someone who grew up in the sixties. My dad was raised in an urban home and represents the blue-collar work ethic his parents instilled in him. My eldest brother attended the University of California at Berkeley and is now an engineer, the next brother is attending the University of California at San Diego with aspirations to become a doctor, and my other brother is attending college in hopes to find a career in music. An integral part of my brothers’ success was their Boy Scout ideology; a path I treaded on when I was the fourth sibling in my family to earn the rank of Eagle. My family background has raised the expectations I have for myself and will set the foundation for the next chapter of my story.
At some point between my rigorous coursework and my zeal for extracurricular activities, I developed a passion for psychology. I work with children routinely in my job at a local recreational facility, have strong connections through Boy Scouts, and cherish the camaraderie I find in team athletics. Many facets of human psychology, including the social interactions of people, human developmental stages, an individual’s mindset, the influence of one’s brain chemistry, and how these factors work in harmony in the science of psychology captivates me. This fascination has stimulated my interest to interact with others; to converse, to debate controversial topics, and to further my understanding of human interaction.
An essential component of my personality is my curiosity. From infancy, I have been known to immerse myself in knowledge toward anything I consider even remotely appealing. I pour myself into books, do thorough research on the Internet, ask for professional advice, and do whatever else it takes to master my fascinations. My interests serve as my motivation to achieve excellence, in topics ranging from reptiles to journalism, from acting to growing peach trees, from any type of sport to playing multiple musical instruments. My curiosities ultimately led me to play three sports in high school, for a combined nine semesters of athletics. I wrestled and ran track, but football was my passion. My coaches noticed my ability early, and I soon earned a starting position on offense as well as defense, and was made a team captain. Unfortunately, I had suffered from a herniated disk and three fractured vertebrae following a violent wrestling match at the end of my sophomore year, effectively ending my football and wrestling careers entirely. I rededicated myself to Boy Scouting, where I found the community participation and companionship extremely rewarding, and attained the rank of Eagle Scout earlier this year. The next focus of my ambition is to further my studies in college, where my passion for working with people can develop into a career that I will find truly satisfying.
Certain professors influence my gravitation to the University of California at Santa Cruz. In her published book, “The Cultural Nature of Human Development”, I thought Barbara Rogoff’s theory on the relation of parental factors in child development, which emphasizes the importance of language and communication, to be very interesting. Her argument proves that linguistics would effectively augment my understanding of psychology. This correspondence of subject matter directs me toward Jorge Hankamer, the highly acclaimed linguistics professor who provides his students with unparalleled interest. Laurence Houseman once said, "A saint is one who makes goodness attractive." Surely, a great teacher accomplishes the same for education.
My academic career and personal development have been a precursor to my current passions – psychology and the complexities of human interaction. Where will these passions take me? My prospective college destination in the subsequent section of my life is unpredictable, but I can’t think of a better institution to write this next chapter than the University of California at Santa Cruz.
