I’m a California high school senior currently applying to colleges for computer engineering or computer science. What do you think my chances are at the UCs (LA, SD, SB, Irvine, etc…) with the following credentials:
UW GPA: 3.86
UC GPA: 4.27
SAT: 720 math, 700 reading
ACT: 30 Composite, 35 math, 30 science, 30 English, 25 reading
SAT II: 800 Physics, 790 Math 2
Freshman/Sophomore year classes were all the honors/AP classes I could take (Geo, Bio, English for freshman, Alg2/trig, Chem, English and AP Euro for Sophomore), B in English 9 both semesters, B one semester of geo, everything else As.
In junior year I took precalc H, AP Physics 1, AP Stats, cp everything else, B both semester of Precalc and the rest As.
Senior year I’m taking AP Calc AB, AP Physics C, and AP Computer Science Principles, cp everything else.
I’m a little worried that my junior/senior classes don’t have enough rigor, as I didn’t take AP English or US History as many people do at my school, nor did I take AP Chem or Bio. Also worried that my SAT and ACT scores aren’t too good.
I have about average ECs, maybe a little on the weak side, and pretty good essays
Do I have a decent shot at the UCs and Cal Poly SLO?
