<p>low SAT score.</p>

<p>Your GPA is competitive but SAT too low. Average SAT for UCI was 1867. Since you are applying for CS which is one of the more competitive majors, you need both SAT and GPA above average.<br>
I suggest you retake SAT if possible.</p>

<p>UCI: Low Reach</p>

<p>You would have better chances at UCSC/UCR.</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in.</p>

I had a high GPA but a very low SAT and I got in :smiley: don’t lose hope!

You’re gonna need a higher sat. I was waitlisted as a comp sci major with a 4.6 gpa and 1900 sat.

alright guys thanks for the responses, i wont get my hopes up but i also really wanted to go there. I’m pretty sure ill be happy at the other schools i got accepted into. Do they consider my ethnic background or economic status? I hope there’s a chance for me

UC’s cannot use affirmative action for admissions as it is illegal to admit on the basis of race. Your SAT score is really too low for Irvine.
