Chance me? (UCI Comp Sci)

Hi! I usually hate chance threads but after getting rejected by UC Davis and UCSD for computer science, I am now very confused at my chances for UC Irvine. I know you guys can’t give me a definite chance but I just want to know based on your own personal knowledge of acceptances by your cousins, siblings or friends.

I’m not sure how your UC gpa can be that high with a 3.81 unweighted? It should be 10th and 11th grade with a max of 8 points for AP or approved honors.

Yes, my apologies. That 3.81 UW gpa was for all 4 years.

Ok, so can you figure out your capped weighted UC gpa? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

My capped weighted UC GPA is 4.04.

I think that puts you in range for students accepted into Comp Sci at UCI last year, but this year’s a different animal with record numbers of applications. I would say solid chance, but no guarantees this year.
