Chance Me for UCs, Ivies, top CS Schools

Applying to College
1

<p>Here are my stats going into Sr year:
GPA UW: 3.6 (school doesn't weight..highest gpa 3.75, only 35 srs, no ranking but approx. in top 7-8/35) - 4.0 Junior year in 7 courses, but C+ and C in 2 science classes soph year
UC full weighted: 4.4
SAT: CR:780, M: 780, W: 760
SAT Subj: Math Level2: 780, Chem: 780, Lit: 760 (2nd-640 in soph), Bio: 700 (soph)
NMS qualified (waiting for semi or finalist result)
AP National Scholar: AP Scores:
(CalcBC:5, EngLit:5, EngComp:5, USH:5, Chem:5, CompSci:5,
Bio:4, USGovt:4, Macro:4, Micro:3, EH:3, CalcAB:3 (soph))
ECs:
Stanford Summer EPGY
Hopkins CTY
3 Summers: Hospital Volunteer (radiology) at US News top 10 hospital (100+ hrs)
This Summer taking 2 CS major courses at UCLA
Nat'l Honor Society
Co-founder/pres: Interact (Rotary) Club
Pres: Info Tech Club
VP: Literature/Writing Magazine Club
Sports: Okinawan Karate Brown Belt-many competitions - prolly get Black belt this year
Working as computer programmer - volunteer maintaining school website and other nonprofit website
Desired major: Comp Sci (does not necessarily have to be in engineering or with EE)<br>
Also interested in: Literature/Writing, Undergrad Business courses (Finance, etc)</p>

<p>Please give me realistic chance of UCB, UCLA, UCSD, lower Ivies (Penn, Cornell), MIT, Caltech, Carnegie-Mellon, UTexas, UMich, U. Ill, U. Wash., GaTech, USC, dare I name the impossible Stanford? Also, please suggest schools which are pretty sure bets that may give me money. Thanks!</p>

<p>UC GPA gives +1 honors/AP/college course points for up to 8 semesters of such courses. So it seems unlikely that a 3.6 unweighted GPA becomes a 4.4 UC GPA.</p>

<p>[University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu%5DUniversity”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu) and [University</a> of California - Freshman admission profiles](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/profiles/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/profiles/index.html) can help you with comparing your stats to admitted freshmen at the UCs. However, note that selectivity varies by division or major. For example, at Berkeley, the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science major in the College of Engineering is generally considered one of the most selective majors, while the College of Letters and Science, where one can declare the Computer Science major, is a bit less selective (both of these majors select from the same Computer Science courses).</p>

<p>Sure bet to give you money = University of Alabama: <a href=“http://eng.ua.edu/undergraduate/scholarships/[/url]”>http://eng.ua.edu/undergraduate/scholarships/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UCB- Probably math/safety. You have a decent shot.
UCLA-Unlikely. UCs are very number based UCLA/Cal are usually 2400/4.0 kids. You can try. but I’d got with high match.
UCSD- match. 3.6 is a little low but your SAT makes up for it.
Cornell/Penn/Stanford- WHO KNOWS? LOL. Honestly. Try. hard. you don’t know. It coule happen. 3.6 is pretty low, but you may be able to pull off an amazing essay and maybe your recs will be spectacular. Maybe boost up Extracurriculars if you can? You have numerous stuff, but not high-focus-level stuff like national anything. (and sir. Penn is NOT a low ivy… it’s kinda mid ivy.)
MIT- if you’re not a girl majoring in computer science, doubtful. lol. Esp if you’re a STEM (science, tech, engineering, math) major. they’re VERY selective and picky on those. Lit or poli sci? MAYBE.
Caltech- see MIT. but a little less IMO.
Carnegie-Mellon- match. maybe a tiny bit high match. If you’re doing engineering of any sort. probably hosed, they’re #1 at that. For you, I’d say don’t try too many colleges who are #1 in your specific major but go more for ones that are like still impressive but less. They like essays. I’d try and write a really good one.
UTexas- dunno much about here. no comment.
UMich- yeah. match.
U. Ill- See U Texas.
U. Wash.- uhhhhh the one in st. louis? probably same as Carnegie Mellon but minus the engineering bit.
GaTech- dunno dude. it’s an OK shot. this is 50/50
USC- if you come from a really good school in california. Probably. they say they don’t care about demographics but they kinda do. My school gets like at least 50% in… sorry not trying to scare you. I was gonna actually say. match. go for it.</p>
