Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello, I'm an international applicant, Canadian citizen, currently living abroad and attending a US-high school system in an accredited high school.</p>

<p>My academics are as follows:</p>

<p>GPA: Overall: 3.60-3.75 / 4 {If I made a mistake in the calculation, please let me know}</p>

<p>[This was due to my stupidity of not knowing the importance of school in my Grade 9 and 10 years, which both had a 3.6 and 3.4 GPA respectively if I remember correctly, and I was suffering greatly from depression in those years, though I don't think that's a good excuse. I had a D+ in Mathematics in my Grade 10 year, which has me extremely worried and stressed out; however, my mathematics for Grade 9 was around an A, and for Grades 11 and 12, it is an A+]</p>

<p>After deciding to wake up and try my best, knowing very well that I wouldn't have regrets later if I did, my GPA increased. My GPA for grade 11 was a 4.0, and for the first quarter of grade 12 is a 4.0 as well. I hope this increase will be noticed by the admissions staff.</p>

<p>My standardized testing scores:</p>

<p>SAT 1 [breakdown]:</p>

<p>Took it twice</p>

<p>Highest sitting:</p>

<p>540 Critical Reading
600 Mathematics
760 Writing[8 on essay]</p>

<p>Total: 1900</p>

<p>Superscore:</p>

<p>570 Critical Reading
650 Mathematics
760 Writing[8 on essay]</p>

<p>Total: 1980</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests:</p>

<p>Biology E: 780
Mathematics level 1: 730
Mathematics level 2: 590(Not submitting)</p>

<p>As for majors, I'm not really sure, but I guess it's between</p>

<p>Biologically-oriented Major
Computer Science</p>

<p>I was hoping to know my chances for the following universities:</p>

<p>University of California Davis
University of Toronto
University of British Columbia
McGill University
York University
California State University: LA</p>

<p>My EC's are weak, so I don't think it's really worth showing them; however, I did win a Top Student of the Year award at my school in Grade 11, which I think would help my case for grades 9 and 10.</p>

<p>Parents income a year: about $75,000 or higher
(I'll have to make sure of this since I don't really trust my calculations xD, but it should be around there.)</p>

<p>GPA is a little low (unweighted or weighted?) for California UC’s and SAT score could be more competitive. As an International applicant, you will be paying full fees at the UC’s at $55K/year and for Cal State around $30K/year.</p>

<p>Calculate your UC/CSU GPA as follows:
<a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UCLA (University of California Los Angeles): Reach
UC Davis: Low Reach/High Match
CSULA (California State University Los Angeles): Match</p>

<p>Do not know about others???</p>

3

<p>My GPA is unweighted, for my school does not offer AP courses.</p>

4

<p>Bump…</p>

5

<p>GPA is on the lower side and that Math 1 score, even though it’s okay is not gonna do you any good. colleges like to see math 2 and a high score for that. retake </p>

6

<p>The 570 SAT score will make McGill out of reach. Even though you are a Canadian citizen, coming out of a US high school abroad will put you in the American applicant pool. </p>

7

<p>Oh, I see. What about the other universities like the university of toronto and york?</p>

8

<p>You should apply to CSUMB they have a three year computer science program and CSULA is a good shot</p>
