Now here’s the real kicker- my intended major is computer science :< I know from a superficial level I seem to be on track for a major in English, given my ECs. I have experience manipulating HTML and CSS and self-learning code languages, and am working on a Github. But to be honest, I’m very doubtful. Please chance me, advice would be welcome!

UC’s use 10-11th grades for their GPA calculation so since you have not finished your Junior year, it is difficult to figure out your chances. You have a decent PSAT score, but your SAT score is what will matter.

At the end of Junior year, calculate your UC GPA: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Come back when you have SAT scores, SAT subject scores and your UC GPA and you can be chanced. Just continue to work hard and do EC’s that you enjoy.
