<p>I think I might major in Electrical Engineering, so if you could recommend some [and chance me for those?], I'd really appreciate it!</p>

<p>I also might do comp.sci, pre-med, or some other engineering thing. Yeah, broad range, I know, I'm sorry!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the school but you may like Carnegie Mellon University. :slight_smile: (high match/low reach?)</p>

<p>I’m not sure about UC’s for instate people, so I’m not going to chance you. But I think you’ll get into UCLA, UCSD, UCD, and UCI. Just not sure about the logistics for cal.</p>

<p>Yale- high reach for errbody
MIT- high reach for errbody
NYU- match
USC- match
Pomona- high match/low reach</p>

<ul>
<li>UCLA match</li>
<li>UC Berkeley match</li>
<li>UCSD low match</li>
<li>UC Davis [maybe] safety</li>
<li>UC Irvine [maybe] safety</li>
<li>Yale [EA probably] reach</li>
<li>MIT reach but outside chance since they like their female Engineering majors</li>
<li>NYU low match</li>
<li>USC low match</li>
<li>Pomona [maybe?] high match</li>
</ul>

<p>You are “in” at all the UC’s, USC, NYU, and Pomona. </p>

<p>Go to Cal.:)</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback, guys! Now I just hope I don’t bomb my essays…</p>

<p>ECs are a bit weak, but only privates care about your ECs and essays. What is your UW GPA?</p>

<p>UCLA - impossible to say, they are weird with their admissions; good idea to apply though
UC Berkeley - same as UCLA
UCSD - acceptance
UC Davis - safety
UC Irvine - safety
Yale - possible rejection (Asian doesn’t help, sorry)
MIT - possible admittance (PROS: Female, CONS: ECs)
NYU - acceptance
USC - acceptance if you write a killer essay; they are known to reject “bland” or “generic” students with high scores. They like female Viterbi applicants, though.
Pomona - acceptance (But if you’re math/science, why aren’t you looking at Harvey Mudd instead???)</p>

<p>ABSOLUTELY apply to Harvey Mudd and Caltech. Maybe Stanford if you’re feeling adventurous. Otherwise, this is a good list.</p>
