I have posted previously about myself, but I decided I was uncertain previously, and that this is the real situation for me currently.
I am currently at UCSD with a 3.0 overall GPA in biochemistry, biology. I have over 250 hours of volunteering and 1 year research at a protein lab on campus. I also was an abroad coordinator (one year term) for an organization called FIMRC (Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children). My last 90 quarter units accumulate to 3.511 GPA.
Currently, I have spend a couple years abroad to accumulate my interests. I found that computer science helps society immensely and is more of an interest of study for me. I took C++ and C language courses in Taiwan university and received A’s. I became fluent with Bubble Sort, Sequential Search, etc. I also took digital design and electric circuit lab, and learned the logics of circuit design and received A’s as well.
I participated in an electrical engineering speech competition for regionals with the topic of 3D-printing and placed first for my region (I will be competing at nationals in a week). I have recently started a research project on biometrics dealing with using blood vessels in the hand to identify and individual!
When I return to UCSD in Fall 2016, I wish to finish my degree (2 more quarters) and then pursue a master’s in computer science, because I wish to help the world.
With my current situation, I am looking to apply to in state universities such as CSU East Bay, CSU San Luis Obispo, and more in the following cycle. Is this a far stretch for me?
Any remarks are appreciated! Thank you.
