Ucsd and Ucsb are definately within range. With ucla and cal, I’d say your brother has a good shot at getting in, but those schools are extremely selective.

Very good chance if he writes good essays. make sure his essays are strongly connected to one of his favorite extracurricular activities to show his passion. Good luck.

ucb - 40-50%
ucla - 60%-70%
others - 80%

UCSB: Match
UCSD: High Match
UCLA/UCB: Low Reach

Good chance at all the schools, but CS is very popular and extremely competitive, so very difficult to determine. Why isn’t USC on the list since he had the internship?

He did apply to USC as well as some other private universities. I just wanted to make this post about his chances with the UCs because I think that the UCs might place more emphasis on test scores vs ECs so I wanted to see if his scores were good enough for CS.
