Re: doing bad at ucsd
It's all about work.
I think 1070 was the highest score I received on the SATs. Granted, I didn't put any effort into them but I am by no means a genius. I was terrible at math in high school and I thought that I just wasn't good at it...the amount of work that I did didn't seem to have an effect.
When I began college, though, I realized that if I wanted to do good I would just have to work harder. Long story short, I ended up graduating summa cum laude at a pretty decent school with a major in economics like you. Degenerasian got it right. Even though it may seem like it to you, you aren't putting enough effort into your grades. If you're remotely competetent you should be able to get at least a 3.0 with some effort. If you need to study three more hours a day than others, then so be it.
