Chance me for Berkeley, Michigan, and Cornell Engineering?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am planning to study EECS/Computer Engineering depending on the school I'm admitted to. I feel my ECs are weak (no concrete volunteer experience) but everyone tells me I'm fine for Berkeley (my CA public high school has about the top 15 students of the grade get admitted, I'm in the top 5, but the other guys aren't doing engineering).</p>

<p>I was already accepted as a Presidential finalist for USC if that means anything, but I did not get Regents/Chancellor's for Berkeley.</p>

<p>You have good GPA and SAT, Kind of weak EC. I think you will get in
chance

<p>Cautious bump?</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine at Berkeley and Michigan, but Cornell might be a reach because of the weak ECs. </p>

5

<p>Thanks for the insight, but doesn’t Cornell Engineering have a higher acceptance rate than Berkeley’s? Also, saif, would you like me to chance something?</p>

6

<p>All of them are low reaches-matches. Given how your EC’s relate to your major, you will be fine. </p>

7

<p>Eh, you’ll be fine for Berkeley as long as you don’t do EECS, they only take people who code IRC bots in their free time. </p>

8

<p>Good stat. What is your uwGPA? Also, Umich does not superscore. You should be a high match to low reach for UMich depending on your uwGPA and the rest of your credential.</p>

9

<p>3.93.</p>

10

<p>@moliss
Then it should be a high match for you.</p>

<p>@misingnoglic - while UCB EECS is competitive its not THAT bad. I know two people, neither of which had ever studied computer science before college, who were accepted to UCB EECS.
@moliss - no thanks. Not to be condescending, but I try not to take much stock in CC chance threads. While they’re good for sophomores and juniors who want to figure out if they’re on the right track, as a senior I might as well just wait 17 days for the adcomm to get back to me. </p>

<p>I know Michigan pretty well and expect you to get in. You have the test scores, the GPA and the rigorous schedule.</p>

<p>Berkeley = low reach, if not, match. You should apply there.</p>

14

<p>Ironically enough, the following occurred:
rejected from Berkeley, waitlisted at Cornell
accepted at Columbia Engineering</p>

<p>Going for Columbia but I decided to stay on the Cornell waitlist.
@saif235 did you get into Berkeley?</p>

15

<p>@moliss Yeah I got the Regents Scholarship at Berkeley</p>
