I think you have a great shot at all of them except for Stanford, which is not a sure thing for anyone. Great stats and EC’s!
Thanks, I wasn’t sure if my application was as strong as it could be since I don’t have a lot of work/volunteer hours. That’s what I’m mainly trying to change over the summer/senior year.
What college (for the UC’s) do you plan on attending?
Nice records, especially the SAT and ACT scores and your extracurricular activities! I think you definitely have a shot at all the schools. Definitely recommend taking at least 2 SAT 2’s because some colleges require that (only the top ones). Go on their sites and check to see what requirements must be met in order to apply. I’m so jealous of all the awards you won; I wish I was that talented. Anyway, good luck and I know you can do it! (:
I plan to major in computer science
UC’s are very competitive for Comp Sci/Engineering majors, make sure you do well on your SAT II’s and you’ll have a good shot at UCLA and Berkeley
