<p>Most likely in at UCI. You have a lot of good prep for Computer Engineering not to mention a huge upward GPA trend. </p>

<p>Also, UCI has a lot of Asians but its not filleddddd with them. Stop being so stereotypical.</p>

<p>I feel like UCI is only filled with Asians because they don’t put on racial quotas. I mean, let’s say like, Harvard, that probably would be filled with Asians, too, if they didn’t put on racial quotas, which they don’t do. So yeah, race =/= a factor, but I feel minority races don’t get any advantage here either, if people are expecting them, as opposed to some other colleges.</p>
