PS - started. I will be talking about my status here as undocumented, what do you guys think. Should I?
I did 5 honors courses for TAP but I’m guessing that doesn’t count since I don’t have a 3.5 gpa?
I’m also applying to UCR, UCI, UCSB (TAG), and Berkely!
It seems that in 2015 half of those accepted for your major had GPA’s between 3.60-3.87, so you aren’t the best position in that regard. That’s not to say you can’t get in. ECs should probably add a little something, although I really don’t know how much of a factor they are. I had zero ECs. It makes me think either my personal statements were good enough to make up for it or ECs just aren’t a big deal.
Really work those personal statements, that’s probably gonna be the difference maker for you. Didn’t they change the format this year? If your experience being undocumented works within the new prompts, then sure, that seems as good a topic as any.
