Hi! I am a white male from Chicago, IL looking to go into computer science. I go to a competitive private school, which has a tough grading scale (A = 93-100, B = 85-92, etc). I am currently a junior.
Weighted GPA: 3.90
Unweighted GPA: 3.74
I had an alright freshman year (~3.8 both semesters), and an extremely sub-par sophomore year (3.8 first semester, 3.3 second semester). However, Junior year I stepped it up (4.4 first semester, and a prospective 4.3 second semester because things are shaping up about the same). All it took was increased effort and maturity.
I took honors math and science freshman year.
I took honors math, and science, and Spanish sophomore year.
I am taking AP Chem, AP Java, honors Roman History, honors math, and honors econ junior year.
And as a senior I will take AP Physics, Honors Robotics, AP BC Calc, AP Macro, and honors english.
My extra curricular are not extremely strong. They are as follows:
JV Lacrosse
JV Soccer
Officer Position at my school’s robotics club
Member of programming club at my school
I’m not quite sure if it helps, but I do have an app on the apple app store (albeit a pretty boring game)
If it would help, I could make another simple app relatively easily
And for my standardized tests:
ACT: 32, 33 superscore
35 English, 30 Math, 31 Reading, and 30 Science
new SAT: 1460
750 Reading
700 Math
Also, the school I go to is jesuit, just like Santa Clara.
What do you think that my chances would be for computer science in their college of engineering?
