Ecs: NHS President, all 4 years i will have played - Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball on the school team, Youth club executive, Interning at the IT section for a hospital, Mock trial participant, Teen court
Some other things to consider: I’ve taken/will take all Aps and honor courses my school has offered which means my unweighted gpa is the highest my school offers.
The schools:
UCLA
UCI
UCSD
UCB
USC
I’m applying for computer science so it’s through the engineering department at all schools because the major is impacted.
Thanks!
Forgot to mention that my class rank is #1 and Im also on student council(ASB)
SAT subject tests? UC GPA? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
HS Course rigor AP/IB or DE courses which ones?
Your uW GPA is excellent, ACT on target for UCI CS but a little low for the rest of the UC’s especially with acceptance rates of less than 10-15% for CS. Try to retake ACT and add a safety or two to your list and a few more Match schools. Consider UCSB/UCD/UCSC/SLO and/or SJSU.
Your are a competitive applicant but no guarantees for CS especially with the UC’s. See a few examples of rejected CS applicants this year from UCLA.
Major: Computer Science, in state
4.74/3.98 GPA
35 ACT
2310 SAT
800 Math 2 SAT
Computer science, instate
Stats: 4.7/4.0/2310/800 in math 2, chem, and physics/34 ACT
Good ECs like nationals level science Olympiad and speech and debate
UCLA - low chance
UCI - accept
UCSD - high chance
UCB - low chance
USC - low chance
Thanks for the reply! If I get to boost my act score to a 33 or a 34 do you think that my chances will be much higher?
I don’t know much about California schools, but I saw this the other day and you might find it interesting. Essentially, they need to start admitting more in-state and fewer OOS students than they have been these past few years. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/06/17/new-california-budget-increases-higher-education-funding-one-condition
Thanks for that article.
“But now, under the new budget, the university faces an even stronger incentive to change. To receive the extra $18.5 million, the Department of Finance will need to confirm by May 1, 2017, “that UC will increase residential enrollment by 2,500 students in the 2017-18 academic year and that the UC Board of Regents has adopted a policy capping nonresident student enrollment,” according to the Assembly Budget Committee floor report.”
So looking at the quote, will this help me since I’m a rising senior and will be applying this fall or will it help next years seniors?
