I’m not sure exactly what your grades mean, but your test scores look great for the UC schools (which are the ones I’m familiar with). The 650 CR is a little low for UCB, but it’s definitely worth applying. good luck!

HI,

UCB/UCLA : Match
Georgia tech : High match (cause it’s harder for internationals from what i’ve been told )
CMU : Match/High match
Cornell : High match / low reach (their admit rate is really low, so luck might be a factor)
UIUC : You’re in

Just my opinion :slight_smile:

The rest idk

good luck

my friend got rejected from cornell and here were his stats. 2160 sat. 760-790 sat 2’s. decent ECS. fairly good essays.

my friend got into berkeley engineering last year. he had 2200 sat. 800 math 2c and chem. decent ecs and good essays.

compare yourself against those guys… i would say low-mid reach

good luck

Full fee at the UC’s but I think they will be reaches. Don’t know about the other schools.

@thatdudeinhs berkeley is pretty confusing with sat scores. last year a friend of mine got in with 2100 but another who got 2190 got rejected, and both had very good ec’s. I guess essays were the difference.

i think once you get passed the 2100 sat score, ecs and essays matter a lot

Frankly, I think you have 90% shot at 5,6, and 7.
An essay score of 7-8 (as you said) should get you in UCLA.
CMU, UCB and Cornell are Reach for almost everyone, especially for CompSc.
