<p>buuump! Please help me out!</p>

<p>You’re probably good for UT, have you looked into the automatic acceptance as a Texas resident? Berkeley is a very very far reach.</p>

4

<p>Automatic acceptance is top 8% of my class and I’m only top 11.799% :(</p>

5

<p>Anyone else?</p>

6

<p>UT - Reach; 8% rule screws you over
Berkley - Reach</p>

7

<p>Thank you for your comments! Does anyone else have any opinions?</p>

<p>HELP PLEASE!!! Any college matches besides these? Preferably in CA or TX.</p>

<p>buuuuuuump!</p>

<p>Sounds like UT’s CAP program might be something to look in to … I don’t know a ton about it, but you go to one of the other UT system schools and then transfer to Austin. </p>

<p>UT Dallas is really good in tech-related majors. I don’t know how hard it is to get in to, but you seem to have very strong stats. I think it deserves a look.</p>

11

<p>I think their both reaches but you have the better chance at UT. Damn that 8% rule must suuuck. </p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>I’m a CA resident who was accepted to 3 UCs: Berkeley, San Diego, LA
I’m entering Berkeley this fall.
I think you’ve got a good chance. You’re well-rounded in every area.
However, so are many applicants; I was too.
You’ll need to make yourself stand out in your essays, give yourself an edge that practically no one else will have.
That is what will get you your acceptance</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I just got my ACT scores so please add opinions about college acceptance:</p>

<p>Composite: 31
Writing: 31
Math: 29
Reading: 32
Science: 32</p>

15

<p>Submit only your ACT not your SAT I</p>

16

<p>How did you manage to acquire a GPA above 5???</p>

17

<p>It’s because of my school system. I think the highest anyone in my school can get is a 6.0 though.</p>

18

<p>Thanks for the feedback</p>

<p>Chance me please!</p>

<p>Since you want to be Computer Science major apply to UT-Dallas. I believe they have a top 15% rule and while it might not be the best Computer Science program it is still a very good school</p>
