I was wondering what my chances were at getting into the Computer Science - Games major @ the Viterbi School of Engineering. I had a slightly below par second sem. junior year, but I think my cumulative stats are decent as are my test scores. My essays and LORs are very strong as well.
I have also scheduled an interview - so tips for that would be great!
