AND clubs are stupid so I didn't join any</p>
<p>i think you mean 4.12 weighted and 3.96 unweighted
you have an awesome upward trend there</p>
<p>your ECs are somewhat lackluster and don’t show a lot of focus toward your major unless you have awards or activities that you didn’t say that show your interest in tech. and having a school activities are stupid attitude is not going to help you in admission for the top colleges (coming from someone who doesnt do a lot of school activities). for most of the schools you listed you should be fine though.</p>
<p>UCSD: match
UCD: match
CalPoly: match
UVA: match
UCLA: high match - low reach
VA tech: low match
Purdue: low match - safety
NWestern: low reach
CMU: low reach
Caltech, Columbia: higher reach</p>
<p>Pretty obvious you are avoiding AP Physics, AP Chemistry and AP Bio plus no ECs to show interest in AE or CS so those may ding your chances for the tippy top schools</p>
<p>AP Physics for next year is currently full, you think I should drop AP Psychology for Biotechnology? I’m trading in an AP for a tech class. So I’ll only have 3 AP’s.</p>
<p>for the UC’s alone, I feel you have a good chance at only UCD. UCSD, UCLA and UCB are going to be pretty hard to be admitted to with a 2030 and 4.12.</p>
<p>Try to get your SAT score to 2100, That should help you alot. Clubs are also NOT stupid. You should join atleast one club, and you should have done NHS and CSF.</p>
<p>-I’m using the lower UC’s and higher CSU’s as my safeties, I’m applying to a lot of schools, more than I listed above.
-My high school did not offer a lot of AP classes, there are only three others that I did not take.
-I’m planning to take SAT II Physics, Chemistry and Math 2, aiming for 700+.
-I’m currently enrolled in a Kaplan SAT prep class and rigorously going through the Collegeboard Bluebook, my prediction for my October score is 2200 at the least.</p>
<p>By the way, if anyone has any idea of Cal Poly Early Decision program being easier to get admitted, please share.</p>
