UC/CSU GPA from https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/ (weighted-capped is used in most published stats)?

Major applied to at each?

Here are the 2017 UC admission rates by weighted-capped GPA, from https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/freshman-admissions-summary . However, engineering and CS admission will be more difficult than these percentages suggest (and changing into those majors after enrolling in a different major or undeclared will require another competitive admission process).


Campus  4.20-   3.80-   3.40-   3.00-

Hi OP,

Stats: Great job with everything
ECs: Pretty good, nothing that reflects computer science interest though
Awards: Fairly basic, no USACO or coding competitions?
Overall: Most of your schools will be reaches, except UCSD, Cal Poly
