<p>@Gumbymom Thank you…I really don’t have very many ECs other than what I listed to be honest…I have played 4 years of sports for my high school and will probably have 80-100 hours of community service by the time I apply though…and I worked for a family-friend’s company for about a year.</p>
<p>I think you could into ALL the UCs and SLO honestly. You may want to stress leadership positions tho. Were you captain of any of the sports you participated in??</p>
<p>@fatimakhan Captain of football team 2 years…I am actually getting a letter of rec from my football coach about leadership which may help me out with schools that take letters of rec like USC and other common apps schools I might apply to.</p>
<p>SLO doesn’t have chemical engineering. UCI does (and you might want to add it to your list), and also Cal Poly Pomona (if you want to add a CSU to your list). </p>
<p>@MLM I am doing Chemical/Materials Engineering…they are very similar. And this is not my whole list, just a few I wanted to be chanced on. I actually have both of those schools on my whole list.</p>
<p>Excluding some of the super reach schools that I will be trying for on the common APP, this is my whole list:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UC Santa Barbara
UCLA
UC San Diego
Cal Poly SLO
UC Davis
USC
University of Washington
Cal Poly Pomona
Washington State University
UC Irvine
CSU Long Beach
Oregon State University</p>
<p>I am not exactly sure how the college applications work, but can you apply for two separate majors at a certain college? Like 1st choice and 2nd choice?</p>
<p>@Kreig01: Yes, you can apply with an alternate major besides your 1st choice major. Some schools will take the alternate major in consideration and if you do not list an alternate major, often you will be accepted Undeclared. UCSB and UCSD are the two UC’s that do this often when you meet all their admission requirements but they are unable to offer you admission into your specific major (usually Engineering or CS). </p>
<p>@gumbymom Ok thank you for that information. I have yet to decide whether I’d rather do materials or chem engineering but I will be applying for both of them when I start doing my applications.</p>
<p>Think you look good for all of them except UCB and UCLA. They are just getting so competitive. If you are set on going to them, maybe you should take your SAT again.</p>
