Intro to Computer Science course over the summer, got an A
Intro to Programming in C course over the summer, got an A</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting in? I’m extremely passionate about technology and would love if I could further develop my knowledge by majoring in Comp Sci at great college.</p>
<p>I have been slacking throughout high school until junior year. At the summer, end of the sophmore year, I went to India and realized I am taking everything I have for granted. While others in India are yearning to learn but forced in mediocre schools, if any, I am slacking off, even though I am given the opportunity (by my parents) to attend one of the nations top 50 high schools. The vacation to India opened my eyes, and I realized I need to make the most of my fortunate situation. I tried throughout junior year, with 3 AP courses, and got a 3.67 unweighted, 4.167 weighted GPA.</p>
<p>Are you an Indian? or Indian-American? You aren’t an immigrant , right? You are a U.S born citizen…</p>
<p>Keep working hard and keep your grades up!!! Tell them in your personal statement about how trip to India opened your eyes and from that point on , you started taking your life seriously and now you study very hard blah blah… This point can actually benefit you in your application process…Davis look for kids that are doing good in their last few years… … Just focus on personal statement and grades…your SAT is already up there…try one more time and improve it as much as you can…</p>
<p>^ Not at all !!! I was born in Pakistan and moved here just ~ 2 years ago…and yet…I am starting my Under-graduate studies at Davis this September:D </p>
<p>So this is nothing to worry about…chill … I was just making sure…Anyways…best of luck!</p>
<p>Yeah, you have a chance, but don’t get too stuck on UC Davis. A couple other schools that are great for computer science are San Jose State University, and Santa Clara University. Location matters, and these two schools are located within easy driving distance to major tech firms in the Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>I suggest you check these schools out, maybe visit these schools, and see what you think. Also, if you decide to apply to Santa Clara, only go there if you get a scholarship that brings the tuition cost down to the UC level.</p>
