Didn’t you already apply EA to all of these schools? You should have heard back already for most.

3

Sorry, I copy pasted this from a different thread. All of these are RD

4

What’s your UC GPA? What division of UCB did you apply to?

5

LSCS, UC GPA is 4.17

6

I would say you have a decent chance at umich. But if you had applied EA, that would have helped more. Because umich does rolling admissions after EA, the later you wait the more difficult it becomes to get admitted.

7

Your uwGPA is around admission average at UMich LSA. For CS major, you can apply to LSA for a better chance. Your test score is good and your course rigor is fine. UMich LSA should be a high match for you from OOS and you should have around double the chance of an average OOS applicant.

8

UCB/UCLA/USC - matches

9

anyone have any idea about cmu? I applied to cit

10

I think you’ll get into all except for maybe CMU. There your GPA may be a bit low but your scores are still pretty good. Be proud of that 5 on AP physics 1! Good luck
