Hi guys,
This is my first time posting, so no hate :P. I am currently a sophomore in high school and I have always wanted to Cal.
I was just wondering what my chances are currently and what I should do next year as a junior so that I can get admission.
-California Resident
-Projected UC GPA: 4.04 (weighted) [nothing I can do to change this because of bad grades in 10th grade D:]
-Total 11 AP’s projected: AP Calculus AB+BC, AP Computer Science, AP Statistics, AP World History, APUSH, AP Psychology, AP English Language, AP Chemistry, AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: E&M
-AP’s will be either 4’s or 5’s, but mainly 5’s
-I will most likely get a 2200+ on the SAT’s
-Top 10% out of 1800 students
-I will be applying to College of Engineering for Computer Science
-Asian Male
-Currently won first hackathon I ever went to, will be going to more hackathons sooner (win maybe 3-4 more?)
-Leader of Website, Programming, and President of Robotics
-Outreach in the Appalachian Mountains to help restore the environment as part of community service, as well as helping locally for the poor
-In school’s Math Team and Programming Club Leader
-Knowledgeable in more than 10 programming languages
-Piano for 7 years
-First one in family to go to American college
-Planning to do an internship somewhere?
I will be doing a lot more extracurriculars than this relating to computer science. The only low point that I currently have is my GPA, which is really low compared to others. I know that Berkeley really focuses on GPA, but is there any possibility of me getting in. Also, what should I do next year that will really boost my chances to get in.
Also, with these statistics, which universities will I get accepted to?
-USC
-UCLA
-UC Davis
-UCSD
-UIUC
-UT Austin
-Georgia Tech
-Carnegie Mellon
I know I asked a lot, sorry about that. Thanks so much in advance. Any reply will really help me in the future.
