<p>With the UC’s senior year AP’s don’t count towards your UC GPA. </p>
<p>In your senior year, I would only take 1-2 AP’s and only if you are definitely going to get an A. </p>
<p>Also, choosing engineering or computer science as your major with your GPA will probably hurt your chances of getting into a UC because those are very competitive and usually the GPA’s are much higher like 3.9 or higher. </p>
<p>Will your parents pay OOS for Georgia Tech tuition which is about $20K more than what instate students pay?
You don’t want to try to get into a school and then you cannot pay for it. That hurts more!</p>
<p>I think your chances might be better at SJSU (non-CS) or CPP, rather than UCR or UCSC which are reaches, especially if you choose engineering or CS. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
