<p>UCSD participates in ELC?</p>
<p>Don’t forget Swarthmore… :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think the only ones that don’t are Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>Wow. So I could get into any major at UCSD if they take me via ELC?</p>
<p>I’ve noted that the University of Washington is not on anyone’s list here… yet I had heard that they have a highly rated program. Anyone have a take on UW - CS and/or CE program?</p>
<p>UIUC is a very good computer everything school that can be considered a safety for top students.</p>
<p>University of Washington is also a good school that could be a safety</p>
<p>UCSD is a good school that can possibly be a safety for some. </p>
<p>However, it also depends, for example if this good student has a 2380 with like 4.0 unweighted GPA wit the most difficult course load, i would consider UCLA, USC, Cornell, and Northwester safeties. Can we know some stats?</p>
<p>^^ what? A safety is something that you have a 90% chance of getting into – it’s more or less a sure thing. I don’t think it’s a “sure thing” to get into an Ivy school, even Cornell, or Northwestern.</p>
<p>Dude, someone got into Cornell with a 1650 and a 3.9 with less than spectacular ECs (although he was Black)…he can get in if he had those stats…TRUST ME!</p>
<p>But then again..you might not want to trust me…i was just hollerin ;)</p>
<p>Possible safeties, depending on stats -
Stevens Institute of Technology
WPI
Clarkson
RPI
RIT
Rose-Hulman
Case Western
Purdue
Michigan Tech</p>
